About The Lab School

We’re Transformational.

For over 40 years, The Lab School has been providing an exceptional academic experience for bright, motivated students (grades 1-12) with moderate-to-severe learning disabilities. The first school of its type in the nation, The Lab School enjoys a worldwide reputation for transforming lives and guiding students on the path toward success.

For students with ADHD, dyslexia, and other learning differences, art can be the gateway to learning.  Our innovative arts-based curriculum is experiential and multi-sensory, helping young people overcome difficulties with reading, spelling, writing and math, while preparing them for a rewarding range of college and career choices.

We have campuses in Washington and Baltimore. If traditional classrooms and traditional teaching methods have left you and your child frustrated, take a look at The Lab School. We think you’ll agree: The difference is extraordinary.

“Any disability may function as an ability if we view it from a new perspective.”
– Ellen Langer
