The Gow School is, Hope with Action, since 1926
We are a coed college-prep boarding and day school for students, grades 5-Post Graduate, with dyslexia and similar language-based learning disabilities in New York.
Who We Serve
Gow specializes in teaching students grades 6 - Post Graduate with language-based learning differences.
What We Do
As a boarding and day school, we offer an enriching college prepatory curriculum anchored in Gow's renown Reconstructive Language (RL) program, created by school founder Peter Gow, Jr and pioneering neurologist Dr. Samuel T. Orton.
Curriculum
Offering a college preparatory curriculum, Gow's highly trained and dedicated faculty provide students with the personalized instruction they need to build confidence to succeed. With small classes and a low 4:1 student-to-faulty ratio, studetns discover a love of learning and unlock their potential.
Campus Life
Beyond the classroom, Gow is about community. Dedicated time for the arts, athletics, and free time is built into students' daily schedules. Walking across campus, students enjoy pickup basketball games, talks by the firepit, off-campus activities, and creek-side adventures.
Executive Function Coaching
Executive function coaching offers students the opportunity to work one-on-one with a coach to improve their organizational and time management skills. While not every student requires this help, it is available to support those who do.
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.
