PROVIDENT CHARTER SCHOOLS
Empowering Students with Dyslexia to Achieve Their Full Potential
At Provident Charter Schools, we see the potential in students who learn differently. Our hands-on, multisensory approach and direct instruction provide the tailored support unique learners need to thrive.
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
The only school of its kind in southwestern Pennsylvania, Provident Charter Schools are taxpayer-funded, public schools designed for educating students with language-based learning differences such as dyslexia. The overall structure of Provident Charter Schools (PCS) is different than traditional schools as it offers an environment tailored to supporting students who are struggling to read:
- Explicit instruction designed for students with dyslexia
- Flexible, leveled grouping
- Reading intervention programs, such as Wilson Reading System®, offered daily
- Multisensory lessons designed to engage all types of learners
- 1-to-1 student devices that offer individualized assistive technology
- “Home” work is completed at school with the support of teachers for Grades 2, 3, and 4
Just as important as the school’s structure are the compassionate educators and administrators who work with the students on a daily basis. The employees at Provident Charter Schools have a thorough understanding of our students’ needs and are dedicated to making school a positive, uplifting experience.
