Lake Drive School For the Deaf

The Craig School is an independent school established in 1980 that specializes in working with students who have learning disabilities in grades 2 through 12. We serve students of at least average to above-average ability who struggle with decoding, reading comprehension, and written expression, giving them the tools to build strong academic foundations and become active, independent learners. Our program features proven, research-based strategies including Orton-Gillingham structured literacy intervention, multi-sensory learning, and an integrated organizational and skill-development system. A comprehensive, whole-child approach helps students develop a clear sense of who they are as individuals and as learners, supported by related services from occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, and social clinicians. The Craig School operates a Lower and Middle School campus in Mountain Lakes and a High School campus in Montville, New Jersey. Programs extend through college counseling, transition programs, and tutoring services, and the school offers a limited need-based financial aid program alongside flexible tuition payment plans.
