College prep. day school for bright underachievers needing support for learning/emotional reasons.
The Robert Louis Stevenson School helps bright, underachieving adolescents develop their self-esteem, enhance their desire for learning and establish a foundation for future growth. Founded in 1961 by New York education visionaries Lucille and Leo Rhodes, Stevenson maintains a rigorous academic focus within a framework of individual attention and a therapeutic milieu. We encourage students to celebrate their successes and once again take the risks that make learning exciting. With their growth and achievement, our graduates face future challenges with confidence and optimism; more than 95% of graduates go on to higher education.
