History
editIt was established in 1887 as the Cathedral School for the Archdiocese. Philanthropist Reuben Runyan Springer donated the funds to create the school, which served children with special needs, initially for hearing-impaired students.[2]
In 1969, a community needs assessment conducted by the University of Cincinnati prompted Springer to expand focus to educating children with learning disabilities. Springer was an archdiocesan school until 1971, when it became an independent elementary school.[2]
Before 1981, the school occupied several different buildings. In 1981, it moved into the former St. Mary High School.[2]
Since 1992, Springer has been accredited through the Independent Schools Association of the Central States, see National Association of Independent Schools.[2]
The Springer Center opened in 1999 to provide information, services, and programs related to learning disabilities.[2]
