Approach

Our mission

We strive to provide an inclusive, equitable, and transformative educational experience for students with language-based learning differences.

Guided by the science of literacy, we deliver structured, research-based instruction that empowers students to develop the skills, confidence, and knowledge needed to succeed in school and beyond.

Our Philosophy

At CBLA, we believe that every student has the capacity to thrive when provided with an environment that honors their unique strengths and ways of learning. Our philosophy is rooted in the understanding that language-based learning differences, such as dyslexia, are not limitations; they are opportunities. These differences can be the catalyst for deepening creativity, building resilience, and discovering innovative problem-solving skills. 

Power of the Pack

Our mascot is the wolf, an intelligent, powerful animal known for its determination, resilience, and loyalty as a collaborative member of a pack.

In our school, we are all a valuable part of one pack, students and adults alike. We strengthen our pack through our 4 shared core values, embodied by our WOLF traits.

  • We think critically and make thoughtful choices.

    • We use what we learn to solve problems.

    • We reflect on our actions and keep growing.

    • We believe that learning to read and write gives us power.

  • We take responsibility for our learning and our community.

    • We try our best—even when it's hard.

    • We use feedback to get better.

    • We help take care of our school and each other.

  • We show up for each other. Always.

    • We treat classmates, teachers, and families with kindness and respect.

    • We build trust and stand together as a pack.

    • We celebrate everyone's strengths and differences.

  • We stay present and push through challenges.

    • We stay focused on our goals.

    • We don't give up when something feels tough.

    • We are proud of how far we’ve come—and where we’re going.
