The school’s mission is: “The de Paul School teaches students with learning differences how to learn, how to become independent, and how to become successful.”

WHAT MAKES IT UNIQUE

  • The school has a long history of working with students who have not succeeded in traditional classroom settings, helping them regain confidence, learn to learn, and make progress academically.

  • Accredited by multiple independent school organizations and focused on high standards for supporting students with learning differences.

  • Located in the historic Highlands neighborhood of Louisville, offering a specialized environment for families seeking an alternative school tailored to learning differences.
