Our Approach

The Lindamood-Bell Academy is a unique in-person or online accredited California private school where we develop sensory-cognitive processing as a foundation for all learning.
 
Unlike any other school, our primary goal is to develop cognition. We see each question we ask—each interaction with students—as an opportunity to develop their cognition.

 

We teach students to think and reason and apply their sensory-cognitive processing to all content, to all curriculum, to all of life.

Many years ago, as we were developing Lindamood-Bell, we talked about creating a Lindamood-Bell School.   Year after year, we explored the option, but year after year we were unable to make that dream come true.

I’m very excited to tell you that we have created the Lindamood-Bell Academy where we develop the imagery-language foundation for success in language processing and all curriculum.

Our dream has come true.  Please call us for information so we can make your dreams come true too.

Warmest regards,

Our instruction is based on
an individual’s learning needs.

We work with thousands of individuals.

Sitting with a child or an adult who struggles to read a word or comprehend a paragraph provides unique insight into the learning process.

We develop the skills that underlie reading & comprehension.
