Waterford School
To achieve its dual research and production goals, 27 years ago, WRI established a research school, the Waterford School. It is located in Sandy, Utah, and supported by parent tuitions. Enrollment is 1,000 students from pre-school to high school, and the school has the highest scores in Utah.
From the earliest years, the Institute and school have worked together to identify education issues and respond to them. The most recent example of research cooperation between WRI and the Waterford School is an exploration of a tutoring system that was designed to manually address the school’s reading remediation needs and which has now been reverse-engineered into a software product now being piloted. The program is based on principles and practices consistent with the multisensory approach developed by the Orton-Gillingham Method.
