Everstone @ Alcuin for Ages 6 to 14 (Formerly Redwood @ Alcuin)
Alcuin has expanded its Montessori program to provide students with learning differences the option to receive a specially tailored curriculum through our partnership with Everstone Academy.
This full-day, academic year program, for children in first through 8th grade, features Alcuin’s long-standing nationally recognized Montessori education, an academic curriculum with Wilson-certified teachers, as well as Alcuin-led enrichment such as art, Spanish, swimming, and theater allowing students to become fully immersed in the Alcuin community.

Everstone @ Alcuin offers research-based reading and writing intervention programs for children with dyslexia, dysgraphia, and other learning differences in kindergarten through 8th grade. Often, most schools are not equipped or properly trained for the support, or specialized instruction, necessary for the success of these students.
Learn more about our Everstone @ Alcuin program by attending one of our Open Houses. These events are open to both prospective families and educational professionals and provide a wonderful opportunity to tour the program, learn more about our approach, and see firsthand how we support students with learning differences. |

Learn more about the admissions process...
All potential and incoming students must have an individual consultation. The purpose of this is to help assess literacy skills, understand a given diagnosis and/or discuss potential intervention options. The admission process is as follows:
- The E @ A pipeline for admissions begins with an admissions consultation. Reach out to Rachael Del Monico. Everstone will schedule a consultation and send reports and recommendations to families.
- Submit your Everstone @ Alcuin application for 1st-6th grades (Note: this application is different from the standard Alcuin application.) For 7th and 8th grades, submit an Alcuin application.
- If it's a good fit, a shadow day will be scheduled for both the Alcuin and Everstone classrooms on the same day.
