Serving Students Kindergarten—8th Grade

Welcome to Admissions

Welcome to a place where your child’s learning journey is as unique as they are.

At The Diener School, we believe that every child deserves to be seen, heard, and supported in a way that nurtures their full potential. Our approach to education is grounded in the understanding that no two learners are alike and our classrooms are designed to reflect that.

With small class sizes, our dedicated educators are able to form meaningful connections with each student. This allows us to tailor instruction to meet individual strengths, needs, and learning styles. Our multi-sensory learning approach ensures that they are engaged and supported every step of the way.

Equally important, we integrate social-emotional learning (SEL) throughout the school day, helping children build meaningful peer relationships, advocate for themselves, and cultivate the tools they need to thrive in and out of the classroom. Through SEL lessons, our students gain prospective taking skills and find meaningful friendships that last beyond their time at Diener.

Purposeful collaboration amongst staff creates a culture of value and respect. When our teachers and therapists work together with intention, our students feel supported and valued.

At The Diener School, education is not one-size-fits-all. Finding the right school for your child is a very personal journey and our Admissions team is here to walk alongside your family every step of the way. We invite you to explore what makes our school a place where children love to learn. Please read through our website to discover if we might be a match for your family. I look forward to connecting with you soon.

Warm regards,

Absolutely, the best place for children with learning disabilities to thrive.

I have seen a total transformation of a child at Diener. The Diener community is totally there for the child providing academics, speech therapy, counseling etc. and tries to treat the whole child.

The thing that makes Diener so unique is the involvement of ALL staff in each student's success.

When I drop in, I see everyone from Alicia and Kathy and Laurie and Lois having an active role with the students - not just the teachers. I also get the sense that everyone really enjoys being at Diener which is a testament to the administration for creating such an inclusive environment.

Brings me great peace of mind and gratitude

The Diener team is committed to meeting each child where they are, and they truly believe in your child. I've witnessed this time and time again with my daughter, and it brings me great peace of mind and gratitude.
