The Dalton Plan uniquely supports students by providing opportunities for them to meet individually with teachers for additional support/enrichment. In addition, understanding the variables among learning profiles and individual pacing, Dalton employs a large support staff of Learning Specialists who are trained to facilitate the attainment of our goal of academic independence. Consequently, private support services are recommended only after the internal supports have been exhausted.

The First Program (grades K-3) special learning services include reading and math support. Students receiving these services are selected as a result of informal, teacher/specialist administered assessments in the fall of the year as well as information from the previous year’s teachers. These students, as well as others referred at a later date, may also be seen by the First Program psychologist individually or in one of several small groups.
