Ability School is a private, proficiency‑based institution in Englewood, New Jersey, serving students ages 4–14 (Pre‑K through 8th grade). For over 35 years, our mission has been to cultivate self‑determined, self‑paced learners who master essential academic and life skills—so they can confidently apply them beyond the classroom.

Our curriculum emphasizes 100% mastery of foundational subjects—reading, writing, arithmetic, spelling, and handwriting—before advancement.

We use a proven Study Technology, developed by L. Ron Hubbard and licensed by Applied Scholastics™, to teach students how to learn effectively—building concentration, comprehension, motivation, retention, and independent study habits that last a lifetime.

Students progress through “Forms” instead of traditional grades, moving at their own pace once they demonstrate full understanding.

This individualized approach means enrollment is open year‑round and tailored to each child’s readiness and interests.

Beyond academics, Ability School offers a rich, holistic program featuring STEAM projects, art, music, field trips, and daily physical education—fostering intellectual growth, emotional confidence, creativity, ethics, and social responsibility.

Join us at 75 Knickerbocker Road, Englewood, NJ, where we empower students to become lifelong learners and creators of their own futures.
