Specialized Learning Programs
Intellectual and cultural diversity is an enriching component of the Edward Murphy experience. We offer exceptional programs and specialized teachers for our students with special needs and learning difficulties.
Speech and Language Development
The speech and language development class is intended to provide specific, intensive language stimulation to a small group of children who have specific language impairment based on professional evaluation.
The teacher is specifically trained to instruct students with language difficulties. There is a lower pupil teacher ratio and the curriculum is adapted to provide learning materials that are stimulating and challenging for each child.
