Overview
The Newgrange School is a private, non-profit special education school in Hopewell, New Jersey that serves students aged 7–21 with language-based learning differences. It uses individualized, multisensory instruction (including Orton-Gillingham and the Wilson Reading System) in small classes with a 5:1 student-teacher ratio, tailoring core subjects and supports to each learner. Instruction groups students by ability rather than age and adds services like occupational therapy, speech therapy, a Flex Class for activities, and a Transition Intensive Program that builds vocational and life skills for 16–21-year-olds. Its goal is to improve educational outcomes for students with learning disabilities and prepare them for post-secondary life and independence through structured, practical, and evidence-based education.
