A premier private school in Tampa, FL, for children in grades 2-8 who learn differently. We Understand, Honor, and Accommodate each child's needs, and we do it with passion! (UHA!)
Tampa Day School offers a rigorous academic program for students who learn differently. Children with ADHD thrive through our focus on executive function and organizational skills, while children with dyslexia are given the intensive phonological instruction needed to finally "break the code".
However, we are not your typical special needs school. There are no reduced expectations here. Our students are presented with many of the same textbooks and materials as students in traditional schools, but in a manner that more closely matches their individual learning styles. Supplemental materials are carefully researched and then incorporated to enhance student learning.
Our mission is captured with a simple expression - UHA!
We Understand and Honor each child (and his or her learning style) so that s/he Achieves...and we do it with passion!
To achieve this mission, we educate one child at a time. It is our responsibility to provide a learning environment that promotes the individual feeling of success for each child, and to find the unique key that opens the door to optimize his or her learning potential.
