Shelton is a school where my child shines. He started in pre-school and is now in 8th grades and the strides he has made are incredible. Shelton isn't just about academics it's about the whole child and meeting each of their needs. My son wouldn't be where he is today if he did not attend Shelton. From their on-site speech, OT and PT to the patience and kindness of ALL staff has brought him from the kid underneath the table to a leader. We are indcredibly thankful and grateful for Shelton.

I love the school I've been going to the school for a long time the reason I love the school is it so unique I've never found a school like this school. the school is made for people with learning differences and it helps us learn and grow. I've learned so much from the school and because of the school I've been able to push forward with my learning differences and not let it get the better of me.

I was a teacher at Shelton and I thought it was wonderful until I had a medical crisis. They forced me to take an extended medical leave and didn’t allow me to come back after my doctor sent all the paperwork that I was clear to come back. They absolutely discriminated against me for an illness whic...

My son got a high A in algebra his freshman year. Was told he did great and mastered the material. Then he got a 16 on PreACT math subtest and we had him assessed by an independent consultant. Discovered that he’d learned practically nothing at Shelton. He had to retake algebra in the summer. The te...
