At McLean we don’t define students by their challenges – but we absolutely know how to support them. Our Abilities Model® and ever-evolving inventory of instructional practices serves all students, not just those with dyslexia, anxiety, ADHD, organizational, and math challenges. Our experts teach the way students learn in smaller classes, embedding support in the classroom.

Every teacher at McLean is a specialist in learning. A key differentiator from other area independent schools is that we do not employ the traditional ‘learning specialist’ that requires students to be pulled out from their classroom. Instead, McLean has a Coordinator of Learning Services in each division who works seamlessly with students, teachers, and parents to ensure the individual needs of students are met.

Here’s the key: the content of what we teach isn’t simplified here… but the process of how we teach it is. And that’s what enables these bright students to really shine.
