The Arrowsmith Program
The Arrowsmith Program is a program dedicated to strengthening the learning capacity of students
and individuals with learning difficulties. The Arrowsmith Program has been in operation for over 35 years and
is currently offered in 50 schools across 4 countries.
The assessment that Arrowsmith does is done at the time of enrollment. Each site that offers the program handles
their own assessments and enrollment process.
Students, individually, could contact Arrowsmith
if they were interested in being assessed or possibly enrolling in a program.
