Trident Academy is one of only eight learning disabilities or differences (LD) schools in the United States that is accredited by the Academy of Orton-Gillingham Practitioners and Educators. Trident Academy is a school for students with diagnosed attention deficit hyperactive disorders (ADHD) or attention deficit disorder (ADD), dyslexia, dyscalculia, central auditory processing difficulties and/or dysgraphia. Located on the southeast coast in Charleston, South Carolina (SC) , the school offers parents and students educational support in a multi-sensory environment.
 
The director of Trident Academy's Language Enrichment and Development Program (LEAD) is an active board member of the Academy of Orton-Gillingham Practitioners and Educators. Trident Academy uses the Orton-Gillingham language-based approach to instruction. The structured, sequential, and cumulative approach introduces the elements of the language systematically. As a special school for learning disabilities or differences, students with dyslexia, attention deficit disorder (ADD/ADHD), dysgraphia, dyscalculia, central auditory processing difficulties, or other learning disabilities or differences are taught in classes with low teacher/student ratios.

One of our parents recently wrote “The distinctive thing about Trident…is the warmth and connectedness the students have with the staff and each other…That type of culture/environment is not easily created and maintained, particularly in a school. There is much written in recent literature about the crucial importance of social and emotional learning… it is as important as academic achievement when entering the world and work force.  Trident does this amazingly well.” Please see the about us section for more details.
