Radcliffe Creek School

As the only K-8 institution on Maryland's Eastern Shore that specializes in educating bright children with learning differences, Radcliffe Creek School stands out as a critical resource to area families. However, most of our families never planned to send their children to private school. Often after realizing their children were not thriving in traditional school environments, whether due to large class sizes that are often distracting to neurodivergent learners, bullying by peers, or a lack of services available to make their children successful in the classroom, parents make the financial sacrifice—at times working second jobs or taking out second mortgages—to send their children to Radcliffe Creek. 

For the students who are able to attend, a Radcliffe education is life-changing.

When you support scholarships at Radcliffe Creek School, you change the trajectory of children's lives. Together, we can build a brighter future for local children with learning differences.

After witnessing their child struggle, academically, socially and/or emotionally in their former school setting, sometimes for years, parents often report a feeling of relief in “getting their child back” once settling in at Radcliffe Creek. Every year, our graduates go on to apply the foundational skills they first learned at RCS to rigorous high school programs in public school settings, at private day and boarding institutions such as Blue Ridge School in Virginia, The Hill School, The Gunston School, Saints Peter and Paul School, St. Andrew's School, as well as in schools focused on students with learning differences, such as Jemicy School and Wye River Upper School in Maryland. 

The Gunston School reports time and time again that it is our graduates who are “more prepared, empathetic, and able to demonstrate a level of tolerance” than most other applicants entering their school. Following high school, our students go on to college, eventually continuing to graduate schools, the military, and professions within various industries, from construction to law, finance, and the environmental sciences.
