History of the

Strengthening Learning Capacities ®

Arrowsmith Program refers both to the Arrowsmith Program methodology and also to our affiliated organizations that make the Arrowsmith Program available to public and private schools in Canada, United States, Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, South Korea and Malaysia.

The Arrowsmith Program is based on the philosophy that it is possible to address specific learning difficulties by identifying and strengthening weak cognitive capacities.

The goal of the Arrowsmith Program’s intensive and graduated cognitive exercises is to strengthen a range of weak cognitive capacities that are hypothesized to underlie a number of specific learning difficulties. Each student’s program is based on a careful assessment to identify that individual’s specific learning difficulties.

The Arrowsmith Program, through a careful assessment, identifies areas of learning strength and weakness to create an individual learning profile for each student and then designs a program of individualized exercises for each student to target their precise areas of weakness.
