Stratford Friends School is a dynamic, creative elementary school for five to thirteeen year-old children who are intelligent and imaginative, but find it difficult to learn in a conventional classroom setting. The school’s mission is to enable these children with learning disabilities to develop the skills, self-knowledge, and self-confidence to be effective learners and become productive adults. Children who have ADD, ADHD, dyslexia, hyperactivity disorder, and trouble with auditory processing can benefit from the school's Orton-Gillingham (Orton) based teaching methods. The school provides a full academic curriculum, a five-to-one student/teacher ratio, and multisensory (multi-sensory) teaching. Founded in 1976 by Dorothy and Sandra Howze, Stratford Friends School continues to be a leader and pioneer in the education of children who learn differently. SFS is a Quaker school committed to diversity, peacemaking, social justice, and the recognition of the spiritual dimension of life. It is a warm and welcoming place where children discover and celebrate their strengths as students and as individuals. Did you know that nearly 3 million students currently receive special education services throughout the U.S.? How can you help? Become a sponsor or play golf with us. Your participation in the 20th Annual Golf Outing will provide financial aid to a local Stratford Friends School student whose family otherwise would not be able to afford the full cost of tuition. As our award-winning program for children with learning disabilities continues to grow so does the need for financial aid. Great golf, great prizes and a great cause!
