For over 50 years, we have had a tradition of transformation. Families come to us overwhelmed by the challenges of learning differences, and we provide the answers. Our school is based on a bold promise -- the promise that we can unleash the potential in every child with a learning difference. The Currey Ingram experience is affirming, supportive, strengths-focused and led by educators with the passion to serve our students and who delight in their progress.
The heart of our school is our core academic program. Guided by numerous on-staff experts, comprehensive diagnostic testing, extensive and ongoing professional development and a Scientific Advisory Board, we mold Individualized Learning Plans (ILPs) that are utterly unique for each student. Recently, we have added valuable curriculum support to enhance executive functioning and social-emotional learning. Students are also provided extensive extracurricular opportunities in the arts and athletics. And, complementing our day program, is a Residential Life (boarding) program for Upper School students.
Our model is comprehensive and intensive, yet accessible. Currey Ingram provides significant need-based financial assistance for students who fit our mission and for families who need it.
Currey Ingram is the school our students and families deserve and we would be honored if you gave us the opportunity to demonstrate how we can make a difference for you.
Our daughters are so attached to their CIA teachers, they are really struggling with the thought of not being with them in the classroom this summer and next year. This only happens when a school’s leadership is focused on recruiting the best teachers and staff and creating a culture that is genuinely devoted to students’ educational and personal development.

What really sets CIA apart is the teachers and staff. Without exception, we have found every teacher and staff member at CIA to be exceptionally caring, kind, devoted and capable.

Having participated as students or parents at so many top academic institutions, it is striking that none of these schools surpasses Currey Ingram in the quality of its academic programs. Part of this is due to the outstanding system of evaluations, metrics, and tailoring of programs to meet each student's needs.
