Why Frostig?
Why Should Your Child Attend Frostig?
For over 60 years, the Frostig School has been making a difference in the lives of children with learning disabilities. In fact, we are the oldest school for learning disabilities in Southern California. We offer a full range of academic and support services for students in grades 1-12 who have been diagnosed with learning disabilities. Our curriculum is specifically designed to help students understand their own strengths and weaknesses enabling them to succeed and reach their highest potential. On average, most students attend our school for three to four years and then mainstream back to other schools.
