Turn of River School

Turn of River School (TOR), located in Stamford, Connecticut, is a specialized private institution dedicated to serving students with a variety of learning differences, including dyslexia, ADHD, and non-verbal learning disabilities. The school focuses on a therapeutic and educational approach that prioritizes individualized instruction, small class sizes, and a highly structured environment. By integrating clinical support with academic curricula, the school aims to rebuild students' confidence and help them overcome the academic barriers that may have hindered their progress in traditional school settings.

Beyond its focus on core academics, Turn of River places a strong emphasis on social-emotional development and the "whole child." The school’s philosophy centers on the belief that when students feel understood and supported, they are better equipped to develop the resilience and self-advocacy skills needed for long-term success. Through a collaborative effort involving teachers, clinicians, and families, the school works to foster a supportive community that prepares students to eventually transition back into mainstream educational environments or pursue higher education with a renewed sense of purpose.
