About Us

Mission Statement

The Diener School provides a developmental, educational, and therapeutic environment for students requiring smaller class sizes and individualized attention. Students will learn experientially, with much repetition, through a variety of multi-sensory, collaborative approaches. The cornerstone of The Diener School, the "Diener Pyramid of Learning for the Whole Child", provides our students with a holistic approach that promotes academics, cognitive functions, constructive social, language and sensory experiences and real life organizational skills. The faculty, in concert with experts in all disciplines will work collaboratively to create a nurturing yet challenging environment empowering children to think independently and have a strong sense of self and spirit.

About The Diener School

The Diener School believes in a balanced day. Our program enriches students through creativity, social thinking, reflective opportunities, and movement as we nurture both body and mind. Our thoughtful schedule allows our students to participate in art, music, drama, yoga, therapeutic interventions, social skills groups, and for some, meditation. Throughout the day and in between academic blocks, students enjoy specials, therapies and sensory breaks, which allow them to sustain their attention and engagement.

We also believe strongly in the connection between movement and learning. We provide our students with daily movement including two days of fitness for health. During our fitness for health classes, our fitness instructors emphasize skills such as visual motor coordination, motor planning, sensory activities and hand-eye coordination, through creative and fun activities! Our movement also includes sports skills such as lacrosse, t-ball, soccer, and basketball. Included in our fitness program are weekly yoga and dance.
