About The Allen Education Center

In 2001, James Allen opened the Allen Education Center, a diagnostic testing and tutoring center, in Wappingers. In 2002, after completing 7 years of teaching in the Wappingers Central School District, Mr. Allen left the classroom experience to devote himself fully to the students at the Center. Since opening in 2001, the Allen Education Center has helped over 2,100 students from pre-K to 12th grade make academic gains in all areas of reading, writing, and Math.

"Every Child Deserves To Feel Success"

When we say success, we mean academically, socially, and emotionally. As teachers, we fully understand that it is essential that we make a connection with each of our students, and that each of our students see that they will be valued when they walk through our doors. We also understand that when a child is having difficulty in school, it can affect the whole family. By combining multi-sensory teaching methods and certified and highly-trained teachers in an encouraging teaching environment, we help our students develop confidence in their abilities.
