The Pinnacle School

The Pinnacle School is a private day school for college-bound students in grades 2-12. We enable students with language-based learning differences to thrive through small class sizes, differentiated instruction, active problem solving and relationship building.

At The Pinnacle School, we focus on creating a caring community that supports students’ academic and social-emotional development. At the heart of our program is an emphasis on building resilience, self-esteem and an enthusiasm for learning. We accomplish this by identifying students’ strengths, creating opportunities for success, and building on these successes daily. Through these experiences, students begin to gain confidence, value their academic success and flourish.

Our approach is highly individualized and customized to each student’s unique learning profile. We use a collaborative approach that includes the student as an insightful member of his or her team. By doing so, they learn the important role they have in their own development, become effective self-advocates and reach their true potential.

Pinnacle is NEASC-accredited and approved by the Connecticut Department of Education for outplacement. Our students are both privately and district placed and come from Connecticut and New York.
