Welcome
The Gow School is, Hope with Action, since 1926
A coed college-prep boarding and day school for students, grades 6-12, with dyslexia and similar language-based learning disabilities in New York.
Who We Serve
Gow specializes in the remediation of dyslexia (reading problems) and related language-based learning disabilities.
What We Do
Reconstructive Language (RL) is Gow’s own remedial language-skills program, created by school founder Peter Gow, Jr, with guidance from pioneering neurologist Dr. Samuel T. Orton.
Curriculum
Working together, students, faculty and staff are devoted to understanding, supporting, and valuing the learning differences and strengths of students in order to reignite their lives.
Technology
Dynamic and leading edge, technology at Gow is developed for the benefit of students and selected for its appropriateness rather than its trendiness.
Executive Function Coaching
Students enrolled in the EFC program typically meet one-on-one with their EF coach once a week for 45-60 minutes.
College Advising
The Gow College Advising Center offers a comprehensive, individualized program to assist students and their families as they apply to college and make the transition from high school.
