Welcome to Walbrdge School

Walbridge School was established in 1986 by educators and parents to meet the academic, social, and emotional needs of children who learn differently. Come and learn how Walbridge transforms the lives of students who are unable to thrive or don’t quite seem to fit in other private or public schools. There’s nowhere else like us in Wisconsin.

We teach students strategies to achieve academic success while providing a challenging academic curriculum.

Who goes to Walbridge?

There is no typical Walbridge student. Each student learns differently, so we have designed our educational program to support the learning strengths and meet the challenges of each child. Many children in our school have learning challenges (such as ADD, Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, Dyscalculia, Dyspraxia, or NLD/NVLD). Others were bullied or did not learn well in large classes or feel at home in crowded hallways milling with hundreds of students. Yet these students have all found a home and an effective learning environment in our school.

Does Walbridge work?

Although our students come to us struggling to thrive in their schools, many of our former students have gone on to become professors, pharmacists, medical professionals, business owners, managers or teachers. Most importantly, Walbridge is a school where students reclaim the self-esteem and self-confidence that they often lost in their prior schooling.

“This is my first year as a Walbridge parent, and it has given me much joy to watch my daughter become a more confident and capable learner. On top of that, it has been a pleasure getting to know an amazing, dedicated group of teachers, staff and parents.” More Testimonials >>
