Organization Issues

The Promise: A Personalized Path to Learning and Growth
At The Promise School, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential. We are a private, non-profit school in Charleston, SC, dedicated to providing a specialized and supportive learning environment for students in grades 3-6 with language-based learning differences.
Our commitment to the Orton-Gillingham approach, a multisensory, structured, and explicit method, ensures that students receive the targeted instruction they need to build a strong foundation in literacy and numeracy. We foster a low student-teacher ratio, allowing for individualized attention and a deeper understanding of each child's strengths and needs.
Our Orton-Gillingham Approach
Multisensory Learning in Action
The Orton-Gillingham approach uses visual, auditory, and kinesthetic-tactile pathways simultaneously to enhance memory and learning. This multisensory approach helps students with language-based learning differences build neural pathways that improve reading, writing, and mathematical abilities.
- Structured, systematic, and cumulative instruction
- Explicit teaching of concepts with continuous student-teacher interaction
- Diagnostic teaching that continually assesses student progress
- Phonological and phonemic awareness development
