Curtis Blake Day School

The Curtis Blake Day School of American International College has been providing high quality services to language learning disabled (LLD) children since 1981 and, more recently, to children diagnosed with a nonverbal learning disability. Our professional staff, most of whom have been with us ten years or more, continually benefit from professional development opportunities offered through the school and its parent institution, American International College.

The school is a private, special education resource, approved by the Massachusetts Department of Education to provide a full-day program for children ages 6-14 who are of average or above average intelligence, but experience specific difficulties in written language skills, mathematics or nonverbal aspects of language.

Student/teacher ratio is 3:1 with the full time equivalent of three speech/language pathologists who collaborate with the teahers to serve the language needs of the students.

The school is one of the several programs offered by the Curtis Blake Center of American International College to serve the needs of learning disabled individuals. Because of the unique link between the Curtis Blake Day School and the college, our programs continue to grow out of scientifically based research in areas of reading, oral and written language, cognitive growth and social-emotional development.
