A Welcome from Natalie Diehl
Head of The Carmody School and Director of Student Services
The goal of the Jayne S. Carmody School at RCDS is to transform students with language-based learning differences into high achievers and confident, capable learners. We strongly believe that all children deserve a superior education and can achieve given the right educational environment, and we aim to deliver that each and every day for our students.
Our small size and careful attention to each child allows us to develop a unique path for each and every student we have the privilege to educate. Students receive remediation in the areas in which it is needed and have the chance to cultivate skills in which they excel.
I invite you to visit The Carmody School. Tour our specially designed facility, speak with our remarkable teachers, meet our bright students – and discover for yourself what makes The Carmody School such a unique place.

History of The Jayne S. Carmody School at RCDS
Starting in 2007, RCDS adapted an extension of its academic program to provide individualized instruction to students in language-based subjects such as literature and language arts. Math was also specialized to meet each student's needs, along with speech and occupational therapy. Yet, these students were not isolated; they received the full RCDS experience, some transitioning out of the program as their skills and abilities advanced.
The program continued to grow stronger over the next seven years, and in 2015 was renamed The Jayne S. Carmody School at RCDS or The Carmody School.
