Individualized, multisensory education for complex learners.
Arbor Bay School empowers K-8 students with learning differences through structured academics, whole-child support, and a school community where every student is seen, celebrated, and encouraged to grow.
Small and Supportive
Small classrooms, predictable routines, and steady adult support help students build confidence while receiving individualized attention.
Evidence-Based Instruction
Staff use multisensory, explicit, and differentiated instruction informed by the Science of Reading and ongoing student assessment.
Whole-Child Care
Social-emotional learning, PBIS, speech, OT, counseling, and enrichment work together to support academic and personal growth.
A Message from the Admin Team
Welcome to Arbor Bay School. We believe every child deserves to thrive not only academically, but also in confidence, connection, and a love of learning. Since our founding in 2003, Arbor Bay has served students with mild to moderate language-based learning differences in a structured setting that combines education, therapy, and enrichment.
For many families, Arbor Bay is a place of renewed hope and possibility. Some students transition back to community schools after three to five years, while others remain longer and continue to benefit from our nurturing environment.
Our vision is to empower students to achieve maximum personal success while becoming accountable, resilient, and compassionate members of society.
