The Arrowsmith School is a school for children with learning disabilities. Its Director and founder is Barbara Arrowsmith Young, who claims she was able to fix her own learning disabilities with the principles she now teaches.[1] The original Arrowsmith school in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, was founded in 1980, and a second location was opened in October 2009 in Peterborough, Ontario. The school's philosophy and methods, called the Arrowsmith Program, are used also in other public and private schools in Canada and the United States.[2]

Instead of teaching coping skills, the Arrowsmith School methods exercise weak sections of the brain, which results in the correction of learning disabilities based on the theory of neuroplasticity.[3]
