Armstrong at a Glance

Empowering Students with Dyslexia to Thrive Since 1968

Armstrong has been a leader on the West Coast in educating students with dyslexia in grades 1–8. Founded by Dr. Wilbur Mattison and The Charles Armstrong Foundation, the school has served dyslexic learners in a co-educational environment for over five decades. Our research-based, time-tested approach is multi-sensory and experiential, designed to meet students where they are, help them understand how they learn best, leverage their strengths, and build the confidence to thrive in school and beyond.

Campus

Armstrong is located in Belmont, CA on 4.5 acres in a residential neighborhood. 29,000 sq ft of classroom and specialty program spaces are complemented by outdoor play, gathering, and creative areas throughout the campus. The school borders McDougal Park and, in partnership with Belmont, has sole use of its playing fields during the school day.
