Stephen Gaynor School is an independent private, special education school in Manhattan, New York, United States, associated with New York Interschool. The school was started with five students in 1962.[2] Today, approximately 380 students ages three to fourteen with a range of language-based learning differences attend the school. [3] Stephen Gaynor School is a member of the New York State Association of Independent Schools NYSAIS.[4]

The school uses Orton-Gillingham instruction, a multi-sensory teaching approach commonly associated with dyslexia, and is accredited by the Academy of Orton-Gillingham Practitioners and Educators.[5]

Since 2007, Stephen Gaynor School has partnered with local public schools (P.S. 84 and P.S. 166) to offer free after-school help for students who are behind in reading. In the 2023-2024 school year, Stephen Gaynor School piloted a 15-week course for P.S. 84 teachers to refine their lessons on phonics. [6]
