Since no two people on the planet look alike, sound alike or act alike, it’s rather questionable that any of us would learn alike, wouldn’t you agree?

Does your child love to spend hours upon hours taking things apart and putting them together again? Is your child deaf to instructions, but magical when it comes to telling a story to anyone who will listen? How do you teach a child who doesn’t seem to be able to concentrate? How do you get the attention of a child who is always deep in thought?

And what about you? Did you learn better by reading or listening or watching or playacting? To understand fully what lies behind Laurel Springs' unique and amazing approach to education, we would suggest you take the Self-Portrait learning styles profile, yourself, with your child. The results may astound you and then again, you may just say, “But of course, that’s me! If only my parents knew that when I was going to school…."

The Learning Style Profile is the result of years of research and experience educating children in traditional and alternative educational settings. Tested and proven to provide a clear understanding of your child's learning potential and preferences, the profile offers a distinct outline of self-knowledge that can be his or her map to success.

Created by two Laurel Springs teachers, Mariaemma Pelullo-Willis and Victoria Hodson, and featured in their book Discover Your Child's Learning Style, the profile measures five key learning style categories: Disposition (learning personality), Talents, Interests, Environment, and Modality (information processing).

Laurel Springs School enrollment counselors and personalized distance learning teachers know and understand the profile and use it to help create the ideal curriculum for each individual student. Many are trained as certified Learning Styles coaches.

You can order your own assessment, or call us at (800) 377-5890 to order the profile today. We will be happy to assist you.

A free Learning Style Profile is included with each child's enrollment in Laurel Springs School.
