- Schools
- The
Cove School - The Cove School was established in
1947, to educate students with learning disabilities and
to facilitate their return to their neighborhood schools
in the shortest possible time. It's curriculum is designed
for students who have learning disabilities that, despite
average or even superior intelligence, keep them from responding
well to conventional teaching techniques. An equally significant
result is that each year a quarter of Cove's student body
returns to their mainstream schools. The Cove School is
located at 350 Lee Road, in Northbrook, Illinois. Philip
