Teaching the Way Your Child Learns
At Meredith-Dunn School, we specialize in serving students in grades 1–8 with language-based learning differences. For 54 years, families across our area have trusted us as the premier school in Louisville for students who learn differently. Through prescriptive instruction and individualized support, we nurture each child’s unique strengths and needs—helping them grow into confident, capable, and resilient learners.
Where Hearts & Minds Connect
“Where hearts and minds connect” is more than just a tagline! We know that children who are stressed, anxious, or afraid cannot learn. At Meredith-Dunn, we believe in the honor and mutual respect of all individuals, creating an environment filled with support and encouragement.
When a child enrolls at Meredith-Dunn School, we design an educational plan that is very specific to that child’s learning differences. We call it “prescriptive” learning. Curricular material is presented in a way that a particular child needs in order to comprehend the information, retain the knowledge, and make academic progress.
Why Meredith-Dunn?
Meredith-Dunn looks and feels like a traditional elementary school — students and teachers interacting, playground activities, after school clubs and sports programs. What really sets us apart from other schools, however, is our highly certified faculty, small class sizes and a culture that encourages us all to embrace our differences and build on them.

Words From A Parent
“On Paul’s first day of school at Meredith-Dunn he came home and said, ‘Some kids learn this way and some kids learn that way, and that’s why I go to Meredith-Dunn School!’ We knew then that Paul was at the right place and we never changed our minds. We can hardly imagine what it would be like for him to go to a different school without the love & encouragement you have shown him.”
A Student Perspective
“I would like to call Meredith-Dunn my miracle school. That’s what it was for me-a miracle. I came here after being diagnosed with ADHD. Meredith-Dunn was amazing. My grades immediately shot up and before I knew it I had friends, actual friends. They didn’t judge me because I learned differently or because I was slow at reading. I was finally accepted for who I was.”
Support. Encourage. Educate.
