ABOUT US
"The Liberty School is a place of exciting discovery; a place where children are taught in ways that ensure success; a place where each child feels safe, valued and confident; a place for students to reach their fullest potential–academically, emotionally and creatively."
~Joyce Bilgrave, Liberty School Founder
Our Mission
To provide individualized, dynamic education for dyslexic,
academically gifted, and twice-exceptional (both dyslexic and gifted) students.
Our Culture
An inclusive school culture is a vital part of our mission, as many of our students enroll at Liberty after having experienced frustration, failure, and a loss of self-confidence in more traditional school settings. The Liberty School creates a culture of community and support in the following ways:
-
Weekly morning meetings provide opportunities to teach all students about The Liberty Way, a student-created summary of the school's values.
-
The staff regularly models the value of risk-taking and learning from mistakes.
-
Hugs are encouraged when appropriate.
-
Staff are trained to support the unique social and emotional needs of dyslexic and gifted students.
-
Periodic trips are offered to the Four Corners Rehabilitation Center to visit and participate in activities with the patients.
