Winston Preparatory School Long Island
Winston Preparatory School Long Island, located in Dix Hills, offers an individualized learning environment for students ages 8-21 with learning differences, such as dyslexia, nonverbal learning disorder (NVLD), and ADHD. We believe what matters most is developing a deep understanding of how your child learns and creating the right environment to help them reach their full potential. Unlike any other school, Winston Prep groups students based on their learning profile, skill level, educational goals, and social-emotional needs.
