The Arrowsmith Program at Gateway Christian Schools addresses the underlying causes of students' learning differences and difficulties by strengthening learning capacities.
- Heather Spain, Director
Arrowsmith Program

Did you know that learning disabilities don't have to be permanent?

The goal of the Arrowsmith Program is to improve cognitive functioning through identification of a student's learning dysfunctions, development of an individualized program, goal setting and careful monitoring of progress with a clear completion target. This unique method, with small measured steps, regular recognition of success and clearly identified goals, enables students and families to identify, intervene and strengthen areas of cognitive weakness that affect learning. The Arrowsmith Program deals with the root causes of a learning disability, rather than managing its symptoms.
My husband was skeptical about the program and insisted we have independent tests done before, and during. We had reading tests done in August. Three months into the program we did the same tests again. In almost all of the test (reading fluency, sight words, ingerence questions, types of texts) he gained a FULL GRADE LEVEL! Never in his prior school career did he gain so much in such a short time!

The first year, my parents did not see much of a change in me, except my increased ability to pick up nuance in conversations, which they say was a big deal. The second year, my parents saw my ability to write down my thoughts in a linear fashion improve, and I could hold a straight margin on the left, which I could not do before. During the third year of Arrowsmith, my parents saw me pulling more and more things together. It was clear that I was now tapping into the intelligence that was once trapped!

I am glad for Arrowsmith. My mom asked me how I would describe Arrowsmith. I don't really know how, but I would say that it changed my brain. If you work hard, you get to change your brain for the better. Things I see as good that come out of Arrowsmith are being much better at math, telling time, getting better grades in school and listening to directions better. I am looking forward to my future and getting better grades in school!
