Last year, Marvelwood became the new home to three former Kildonan students, two of whom completed their senior year on Skiff Mountain. Two additional students who attended Camp Dunnabeck are also currently enrolled. The school continues to receive inquiries from other Kildonan families.
Dyslexic students at The Kildonan School and Camp Dunnabeck benefit from programs like the equestrian program. The winter snowsports (Kildonan) and summer waterskiing (Camp Dunnabeck) also benefit students. The coordination dyslexic students gain through these balance sports help support their brain development.
Beyond the cognitive benefits of riding, opportunities abound for students to grow emotionally and socially. The Kildonan School offers daily contact with horses and other resident animals for students to develop strengths outside the classroom.
