Spectrum School has served the Rockford area since 1967, offering a genuine alternative to traditional education. As a pioneer in the area of educational change, we are dedicated to staying current on, and employing, the cutting-edge instructional methods proven through research. At Spectrum, we believe all children are unique. We believe every child learns in a different way and every child has undiscovered gifts, talents, and potential. No matter what their background, the desire to learn is the common bond they share. 

Spectrum currently enrolls students from preschool through high school.  Our 12 to 1 student to teacher ratio, multi-age classrooms, and the most sophisticated multiple intelligences learning program in the region allows us to understand the needs and strengths of each child. Spectrum views learning as a lifelong adventure that will help students succeed, no matter what opportunities and challenges they encounter.

        "The theory of multiple intelligences has three principal educational implications: individualize education as much as possible;  teach topics in a variety of ways;  develop as many human cognitive capacities as proves practicable.

 

Spectrum School was one of the first schools in the world to take these ideas seriously; Spectrum is to be applauded for its pioneering role in education."
