2018-2019 Celebration of Philanthropy Thank you! Carroll School's Journey "While I was evaluating Jonathan (who was dyslexic and bright), I remember Junie Lowe sitting in my office and saying, 'Well, where's the school we can send him to?' And I said, 'Alas, there is no such school.' He said, 'Then let's start one.'" –dr. edwin cole, co-founder (The Carroll School: Chapter 1, page 11) "We opened school early in September [1967] with seven students and by year-end had twenty-eight students. It was the only school in history we know of that had its enrollment quadruple in a year." –mr. samuel lowe, co-founder (The Carroll School: Chapter 1, page 16) the carroll school (original location) west newton, ma, september 1967 2 celebration of philanthropy 2019 Schools have journeys that reflect both Carroll educators know today what was their character and their responsibilities to unknowable in our earlier years, and we the larger world. Much like an individual’s believe that we can do so much more to physical development is accompanied by help children with language-based learning growth in sophistication, cognitive capacity, differences than we ever imagined before. By and sense of purpose, Carroll’s fifty-two years creating more efficient ways to individualize as an institution have been an evolution. learning, we are confident that we can increase efficacy. With Targeted Cognitive The early years were defined by a pioneering message from Intervention, we have evidence that fluent spirit, trial, and error, and surviving the daily and efficient reading is possible for all challenges of a new school whose emerging Steve Wilkins students. Through a complete education understanding of language-based learning Head of School that emphasizes the advantages of the struggles was also a new educational dyslexic brain - including arts, sports, history, concept. Was a school for dyslexics a viable engineering, design, science, and technology model? Could remediation occur rapidly so - we are seeing students find their unique that students could return to their “regular” talents and excel. schools? What comes next on this extraordinary Carroll’s middle years were characterized by journey? When we continue to follow the a sense of clarity in direction and mission. mantra of “give each child what they most Carroll was indeed a viable concept. In the need,” Carroll will stay keenly focused on late 1980s and 1990s, we grew in our capacity research in cognitive science, neuroimaging, to provide the best available remedial technology, educational research, and programs needed by our students and the wellness education to constantly improve traditional academic programs parents our practice. expected. Designed to be a transitional program in which students would stay at Carroll’s vigilant restlessness to do the best Carroll for a short period of time, the school we possibly can for our students has created continued to deepen its understanding of quite an amazingly effective, influential, and language-based learning difficulties. powerful school. On behalf of the entire Carroll community, I thank you for your Today, Carroll’s journey is identified by a partnership and generosity as we continue strong commitment “to give each child on this journey. what they most need” and a growth mindset that compels us to search for a deeper understanding of how to accomplish this. By studying and engaging in top-level research of how an individual learns and, specifically, how the brain of a dyslexic learns, Carroll’s model has changed dramatically in the past decade. We now know that, through neuroplasticity, the Carroll experience literally rewires reading networks and learning obstacles can be dramatically minimized. 1 Academyy of Charlemlemonntt • American University • Amherst College • Antioch University • Arlington Cathoholic • AssAAssumptisumptiou iono College • Babsonsso Collellelege • Bancroft School • Bard College • Bates Coollegellege • Baylor University • Beaver Coununtry Day • Bennington College • Bentley Universsitity • Berklee CBrewstollegere Academof Muysic • Bostoonn Collllege • Boston University • Brandeis University • BBrewststertert AcaddemdNew Hampty • Bridondg SchoolgewaterterStateSStStatatat Collllegell geg • BrimmerB and May • Bryant University • Cambridb ge ScchoocProctorl Academof Wyesestoes onon • Cardigiganig Mountaino School • Carletoneetonton College • Carroll Upperp School • Caththolilic Memorrial • Cazenazez ovia College • Champlainmpmplainlain College • CChapelhapeapel HillHill-CChaunhaunauncy Hallall • Chararlese Riverr School ClarkC UniUn versity • CleClemson University • Colby College •LaCwwrencolgae tAcademe Univyersity • College of Ch ton • College of Wooster • Connectticut College • Cornell UUniniveerrsity • Cushing Academy • Danaan Hall School • Darrow Schoohool • Dartmoutrtmouth College • DePauul Universittyy • Drew Uniniversityersiitt • Dubllin School • Eagleg HHill Schoolool • Eckeerrd Collegeee • EElon Universitersitty • EmersonEmerson College • Emmma Willard School • Emory University • Endicott College • Evergreen State College • Fairfield University ChCChapel Hill – • Fashion Instititute ofCarrollTecechnologech Upnoperlo Schoolgy •l FitchburgCChChauncySSthatatatate HallUUniniverssitysitity • Forman Schooc ol • Franklin & Marshalll Collegeo legeCambridge • Fuurman School ofUniUi Westonverrsity • Gannnn Acadcacademyaded mymy • George Washington University • GeorgetownnUniversity • GettyssbuburgCollege • GleBrimmerBrBnnhiholmem ande SchoolSch May • GoucherCollCoollllege • Gould Academyy • Governoernnor’s ADanacacaded eHallmy • GrereeeenwoBeBodoavaderSchoolSShSchoSch Countrychlho Da •y SchoolHamiltonHami Collegeeegege • Hampshire College • Hartwick College • High Poin University Hobart and William Smith Colleges • Indiana Universirsityity • Ithhaacacca College • Kent’s HillHilll SchoolSchooool • KimballK a UnUUnioniono Academy • Kingsg wood Oxfxfordxford Acaademy • St.La Sefabayststianetiaittetn’e’ss College • Lake Forestoreorestst CCoollege • Landmark School • Lawrence Accaademmyy • LLeslesley UUniniveersityrsity • Lexxiningtoggtton Christian Academy • Loyola University • Lynchbchbhhbuhbbbuurg College • Maiinne Maritime Acadeemmy • Malden Catholic • Marionapolis Prepaparatory School • Mass College of Art & Desiggnn • Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M((MIT)()MIT)T) • Matignongnonon Highgh SchoolS ol • Merrimmacma k College • Middlebury College • Middlesex Comommunity CollegeCollllege • Minuteemmanm High School • Mount Holyoke College • Mount Ida College • Museum Schooo l of Fine Arts • New Engglaand Academe y • New England Colllege • New Haamptoam ton SchooMiddleburyl • New CollegeYork U iversity • Newwmanman SSchochool • Nicochols Collleege • NNtorthheassternste University • Norwor ich University • Ohhio StaDaDterrtmouthUniUniver Collegersitrsr ity • Parsonsrsons The New School for Dessigsi n • Philadelphia Universe ity • PlPlymouymouth SSttate College • Pommfret School • Portsmoum th AbAbbey • Proctor Academemy • Public Schooools • Quinnipiac University • Regis Collegege • Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute • Rhode Island School of Desesign • Rider UUniversirsisiityty • Rivers School • RoanRo oke Collegege • Rochestteter Institute of Tecechnec nology • Roger WilliamsamRRoRochestsc UniUneriv Instituteersitersity of• TechnologySacred (RIT)Heae rt School (Kingstoniing n, MA) • Sacred Heart University • Saint Michael’s College • Salem State College • SSalialliisbury School • Savannah College of CoCCornellr University Art andand Deesign • SiSimmons UniversityWilliams • Skid Collegemore Colleggee • Smitthh Collegeegeg • Souto hern New Hampshire University • St. Augustg ine Middle School • St. GGeoeoorge’s SSchoolScchoooolol • St. John’s High School • St. Josepph Preparatory HHigigh Schooool • St. Lawrreen e UMIMMITniverse ity • St. Amhersterst CoCollegelle NoNNortheastern Sebastian’s High School • UnSivt.ersitThyo ofm Massachuseas Aquins Amherstas HHiigh School • Stanford University • StoneleighStanford-Burnham School • Suffolk UnUnin versity • Swarththmhmoreorree CoCollegCollegllegggee • Syracuse UnUniversityersersityty • Taboraboror Academcacademyemy • Thayer Academydemyemy • Towerer SScchool RhodeRhR •o Tr Islandinity College • Tufts University • Tulane University • UMASS Amherst • UMASS Boston •SchoolSScUMA ofS DesignS Dartmouth • UMASS Lowell • Union College • University of Alabama • University of C(RISD)(R( oISlorado -
