a role in a student’s success. We call this 360° Learning.
360° Learning means we identify each student’s strengths,
then we build on those talents to increase self-esteem and
motivation. We encourage children to explore their passions
right along side learning core subjects—reading, writing,
mathematics, and social studies. Our reading and language
programs are evidence-based and use the best assistive
technology tailored to each student’s learning style.
For dyslexic children, teaching to a child’s strengths and
mitigating their challenges guarantees academic success.

AN D O U R C A M PU S H A S TOO.
Dear Armstrong Community,
I hope you all had a joyous and restful holiday season, and spent time with family
and friends. As we begin a new calendar year, I would like to reflect on some of our
accomplishments from our last school year.
We began the year with a new look and a new website. Our rebranding project has
strengthened our school image and communications with a consistent look and feel.
Our website is more informative and easier to navigate. We also launched a new
student information system, Whipple Hill. Thank you again for helping us make
these projects so successful.
We continued creating outdoor areas that will nurture learning and engage our
student’s minds. During the summer, we completed another portion of what we plan
on accomplishing during the second phase of our refurbishment project, entitled
“Landscape for Learning.”
The summer of 2015 will be our largest outdoor project to date with the renovation
of the lower school play structure, the middle school lunch area, the middle school
deck, as well as the creation of amphitheater seating. Additional outdoor learning
spaces will also be created this coming summer. Photographs from last summer’s
construction are included in this publication.
Our partnership with UCSF continued to develop as we worked together to find
ways to minimize the challenges of dyslexia, while maximizing the creativity and
intellect of each affected child.
Claudia Koochek,
Head of School
It is with joy and regret we said goodbye to our founder, Wilbur Mattison, Jr. M.D.,
as he relocated to Georgia to be closer to his family.
Last May, our most important accomplishment was to transition 49 students
instilled with a joy of learning and equipped with academic concepts, learning
skills, and strategies that will enable them to be successful in the next stage of
their lives.
Parents, students, faculty, staff, and board members are all part of the journey we
embark upon together to make Armstrong a success. Thank you for all that you do.
I couldn’t do this without you!
Warmly,
Claudia Koochek
Head of School

L E T T E R F ROM TH E B O A R D
Dear Armstrong Community:
It is my pleasure to once again report on the excellent financial health of Charles Armstrong School.
Through the disciplined leadership of Claudia Koochek and her team, we have carefully managed our resources for
another year within our budget. A few highlights:
• Balanced Budget – Our fifth consecutive year of operating within budget
• Facility and Land Ownership – We own our facilities and our land outright – no debt
• Outdoor Learning Spaces – We continued the construction of Landscape for Learning to further improve the
school for our teachers and children
• Annual Giving – Exceeded goals, and were able to fully fund many of the programs our students most value
(art, drama, sports, financial aid)
• Financial Aid – Once again extended assistance to approximately 28 percent of our student population
• Investments in Professional Development – We continue to invest more than any school I’ve encountered
I am particularly proud of our entire team for this record of consistent financial
management. Building on our history of fiscal responsibility going back to our
founding by Dr. Mattison in 1968, we continue to carefully manage our resources.
For families paying tuition, you can rest assured your money is going to help
advance your child’s education – not unnecessary waste. For our generous
donors, you have the commitment of the Board of Trustees, Claudia Koochek,
and her entire team that your gifts will be managed with great care.
I extend my greatest gratitude to our generous donors who have enabled us to
support our Gifts and Talents, financial aid, and the refurbishment programs.
Our Leadership Circle donors provided the core financial support to the school
once again, and we are tremendously thankful for their help. The support coming
from our community as a whole is extraordinary. You have made a difference in the lives of our students with
learning differences. Thank you all so much for your consistent and generous support!
Looking ahead to the coming year, I am looking forward to serving once again as your Board President. And the
entire Board looks forward to helping Claudia and her team further advance the lives of our children. Thank you
all for your enduring generosity in support of that mission.
Best Regards,
David Obershaw
President, Board of Trustees

T H E JOSS FAM ILY: A GIFT FROM THE HEART
Both Adam and his dad, Randy, remember when they first talked about Charles
Armstrong. They were sitting on Adam’s bed and Randy said something like,
“How would you like to go to a school just for dyslexic kids?” Adam surprised
both his parents by jumping at the chance. He’s
been surprising them, in good ways, ever since.
“I knew it’d be hard to leave my friends, but I also
didn’t really think twice because I knew that it
would help and that’s what I was looking for,”
said Adam. “When I first got there, I was still shy
because I had lost my confidence at my other
school.”
By that spring, Adam tried out for and landed a
leading role in the school play, a musical. “He
would never have done that at any other school,”
said his mom, Joan. “I mean, I didn’t even know
he could sing!”
Randy, Joan and Adam Joss
In his three years at Armstrong, Adam thrived: a
lead in the school play, a standout in cross country,
and the quarterback of the football team.
When he graduated, Randy and Joan talked with Adam about a gift for the
school that would be meaningful for him. It was hard to single any one person
out, but in the end it was his coaches.
“They had played a huge role in convincing him of his self-worth and of his
value,” Randy said. “They helped him learn how to lead in a way that fits his
personal style. And it’s not a stretch to say they helped teach him what it means
to be a man—how to be strong, but also how to care for others. So when we
asked what could we do for them, Adam said, ‘Well, it would be nice if there
were windows in their office.’ So that was our gift. Windows.”
Which is only fitting, since they did so much to change how Adam sees himself.

MA R K H E A R N : G IV IN G B A C K IN K IND
Before starting at Charles Armstrong School, a school psychiatrist Mark had seen
told his mother that he probably wouldn’t graduate from high school and college
was out of the question. “I wish I could look him up and tell him what happened,” he said.
“My mom heard about Armstrong at a symposium
they gave back in 1967, and realized the child they
were describing was her son,” said Mark. “At the
time. I was reading at about the first grade level,
and I was in the third grade,” said Mark. “She sent
me to summer school at Armstrong, brought my
reading level up and I remember my mom saying,
‘I think I’ve found him a new home.’ ”
Mark thought he was going to a school for physically and mentally handicapped kids. But then he
entered Mrs. Raab’s first grade class with eight or
nine students. “She was just phenomenal,” Mark
said, “a game changer for me. I was able to read, I
was able to write, and I was being talked to in a
completely different fashion than in the public schools.”
Mark Hearn
Mark went on to graduate from Serra High School, where he did quite well,
excelling in both cross country and track, then graduated from St. Mary’s
College in Moraga, with a degree in psychology. His very successful career in
high technology marketing included stints at MCI and Ford Aerospace, and
starting— and eventually selling—his own software company. He bought
another business, an IT outsourcing company, which he now owns and manages
as CEO. He was on the Board of Trustees at Charles Armstrong from 2003–
2010 and served as board chair from 2007–2010. One of the things he’s passionate about is teacher compensation and retention.
“The kids are so well taught here, with proven methods and techniques to make
sure they can be successful. And to see the phenomenal amount of work the
teachers put in, to me, it’s important we’re paying them accordingly,” Mark said.
“Because I understand the difference this school can make in a child’s life.”

T R A N S FORM ING LIVES – A THREE YEAR
C O MP REHENSIVE CAM PAIGN
In 2013 – 2014, Charles Armstrong School launched its first comprehensive
campaign in the school’s history to support the:
•Faculty
•
Students and their families
•Curriculum
•
Improvements to classrooms, buildings, and outdoor environments
The three-year campaign has a working goal of $9 million and has three priorities:
Capital, Endowment, and Programs.
These three priorities touch each and every part of our ability to fulfill our mission
to empower students with language-based learning differences, such as dyslexia, to
thrive as learners in school and in life. The entire Armstrong community is united
in their dedication to this mission.

I. Capital—$5 Million Goal
•The Landscape for Learning capital effort is dedicated to understanding and providing the best research-based learning
environments for students who learn differently—both indoors and out.
• Phase I: During the summer of 2011, the school launched Phase I of the capital efforts with a major indoor
refurbishment that created state-of-the-art “positive learning” environments for our students.
• Phase II: The second phase of Landscape for Learning began during the summer of 2013—creating outdoor spaces
for small group activities, conferences, “brain breaks,” art, music and play areas in the green space adjacent to the
middle school. During the summer of 2014 those outdoor spaces were replicated in the green space adjacent to Room 1
and the primary grades. Phase II will continue during the summer of 2015 and 2016.
II. Endowment—$700,000 Goal
• Professional Development. Highly skilled, well trained teachers are key to ensuring students succeed. Some studies
have shown that effective reading instruction can alter and improve brain function. That’s why Armstrong invests
heavily in its faculty.
• Financial aid. It is Armstrong’s goal never to turn away a student because of an inability to pay the entire tuition.
Families come to our doors after years of anguish, frustration, and heartache because their child has been suffering
not only academically, but physically and emotionally. Students at Armstrong receive the benefit of a low (6:1)
student-teacher ratio, assistive technology, specialized learning modules, and learning environments optimized for
the LD learner. Unfortunately, these things make the cost of an Armstrong education prohibitive for many of the
families who need it most. Earnings from endowed funds for financial aid can be used to help each family in need
every school year.
III. Programs—$3.3 Million Goal
• There is also a concurrent need to increase on-going support to sustain and further develop core programs which
are the “heart and soul” of the school’s operations.
• Gifts and Talents Programs identify the strengths in students that are important to building their sense of success and
motivation.
• Admissions and Transitions Programs support students and their families in their transitions to and from Armstrong.
• Continuing Operations includes teacher salaries, professional development, smaller class sizes and financial aid.

Strategic Planning Steering
From time to time, independent schools engage in strategic planning. The
process typically takes place over a period of months and involves data collection
and analysis, development of distinct options, and an extensive dialogue. At
Armstrong, the Board of Trustees and school administrators hold responsibility
for reviewing the school’s mission, assessing performance, and setting the school’s
strategic direction. Best practices suggest organizations engage parents and
faculty with an eye to the external environment.
We began this strategic planning process in the fall of 2013 with a board and
administration retreat. We reaffirmed our commitment to our current mission
and identified key questions and options for consideration.
Following the retreat, task forces were created comprised of board members, faculty,
administrators, and parents. The task forces focused on the following areas:
Committee
• Student Program and Professional Development
Beth Springer
• Parent Education
Secretary of Board
of Trustees
• Measurement and Accountability
• Financial and Organizational Sustainability
• Culture of Philanthropy
• UCSF Partnership
There were a number of vital inputs into the process including: parent and
faculty surveys, accreditation information, curriculum reviews, and benchmarks.
In addition, our recently completed Campus Master Plan and Second Site Study
served as guidelines as well.

LANDSCAPE FOR LEARNING
UNDERWAY, SUM M ER 2013.
PAGE 12
In September 2014, the board convened a second, full-day retreat to review the
recommendations of the task forces and resource implications. The decision was
made to focus on targeted improvements to our current program on the Belmont
campus over the next three to five years, and then goals and key strategies were
developed. Collectively, these decisions represent a commitment to incremental
improvement, rather than a major change or expansion.
In January 2015, the board formally and unanimously approved the following
broad priorities:
• To be a leader in education for students with language based learning differences.
• To deliver a comprehensive, research-based program that meets the specific needs
of our students.
• To provide our faculty with the professional development opportunities they
need to teach effectively.
• To maintain and enhance our campus to meet the needs of our program.
• To ensure Charles Armstrong School maintains its long history of financial and
organizational sustainability and programmatic excellence.
We are entering the final phase of the strategic planning process. There are concrete
strategies associated with each of these priorities. The administration will continue
to develop specific goals and plans for these strategies, with appropriate board
oversight, and the resulting goals and plans are intended to guide the school over
the next three to five years. We look forward to sharing more details with the
Armstrong community when the work is completed.

W I L B U R MAT T ISON ’S FIELD OF DREAM S
When Dr. Wilbur Mattison reflects on the first 46 years of Charles Armstrong School, he likens it to the movie,
“Field of Dreams”. In that film, a corn farmer in Iowa is haunted by a recurring dream about baseball in which he
hears the refrain “If you build it, he will come.” The farmer, played by Kevin Costner, builds a baseball diamond,
and out of the cornfield come players of the past, including Shoeless Joe Jackson.
The men start playing baseball on the new field.
Jackson approaches the farmer and asks, “Is this heaven?” “No”, the farmer replies,
“This is Iowa.”
That familiar refrain, “If you build it, they will come,” has never been truer then in the
case of Charles Armstrong School, and no one has done more to build that “field”
than Wilbur Mattison.
In response to a grant request from Dr. Mattison whose own son, Bill, suffered from
dyslexia, the Charles D. Armstrong Memorial Foundation sponsored a 1965 symposium
on “Obscure Causes of School Failure,” which was attended by several concerned
parents, teachers and education experts.
Those initial meetings resulted in summer programs created in 1966 and 1967. From
there, based on the successful results of the those programs, and the realization that
local public schools would not be able to develop such a program in time, Mattison
secured the funding that allowed the school to take shape and blossom.
Charles Armstrong School opened its doors to 18 students in grades two and three in 1968. Early success led to
the school’s expansion to include grades four through eight rather quickly. The acquisition of its current Belmont
site came from a $50,000 gift from one of Wilbur’s patients, and was the cornerstone for raising the additional
funds needed for the school. That gift, coupled with the support of the Foundation, helped raise the remaining
$200,000 needed for the down payment for the school.
However, no single individual has been more pivotal to the growth of the school than Wilbur Mattison. With his
M.D. from Johns Hopkins and having served in the army in World War II, Wilbur was well-prepared to play an
instrumental role in the school through his life’s dedication to hard work and medicine. He has been instrumental
in the school’s evolution from its beginnings in a small home in Menlo Park to its current location in Belmont and
its reputation as a nationally recognized school for the dyslexic learner.
Through his tremendous dedication of service, fundraising and advocacy, Wilbur Mattison has been the touchstone
for the school for the past 50 years.
His commitment has been so great that even though he remained a practicing physician over his long career,
he also dedicated himself to playing a very active role in the school, serving since its inception on the Board of
Trustees as President, Chairman and now Chairman Emeritus. Today, Dr. Mattison, who was a regular presence
on the campus until recently, is now in his 90s and has moved to Georgia in his retirement, but remains a part
of the school in his Emeritus role.
PAGE 16
A particular insight into his profound love and advocacy for Armstrong is epitomized
in a pointed vignette. In the old days when doctors actually made house calls, Dr.
Mattison was on one such visit to a patient’s home to treat their illness and walked
out of the home with the $50,000 gift that started today’s Belmont campus.

ANNIVERS A RY

HELP
He has raised well over $1 million through his friends, patients, foundations and
others. In tribute to his essential role in building Charles Armstrong School, the
Board created an endowment in honor of Wilbur and his wife Patricia in 1999
with a base of $237,000.
Wilbur has designated Armstrong as a beneficiary in his estate plan. More importantly,
he has influenced many others to do the same over the years. Armstrong relies on
this kind of philanthropic giving and Wilbur has built the base for others to include
Armstrong in their estate planned giving.
While the initial focus of the school was on remediation of a student’s weaknesses,
Wilbur helped the school move beyond that goal. He was a pivotal advocate for
Armstrong to create its Gifts and Talents program, which provides opportunities for
students to explore their strengths and build upon them. Armstrong offers a wide
variety of enrichment and extra curricular classes, which help students identify,
nurture and share their talents outside the classroom walls. The addition of music,
drama, arts and physical education programs are key to this effort.
In recent developments, Wilbur was very supportive of Armstrong’s strategic planning
and was fundamental in developing its partnership with UCSF. Together, Armstrong
and UCSF created the UCSF Dyslexia Center, which aims to eliminate the
debilitating effect of dyslexia while also preserving and enhancing the strengths
of each affected individual.
“The failure of these students back half a century ago to learn took a terrific toll
on their self-esteem and self-confidence,” Mattison states, “It was never properly
addressed in the U.S. school system.”
In the beginning, like in the “Field of Dreams,” the trustees, staff, families and friends,
and alumni of the Charles Armstrong School heard the message that if they built the
school, the students would come. They did. Many of them arrived with painful
memories of being called “lazy” and “stupid”.
The thousands of students who have attended Charles Armstrong School would be
justified in asking, “Is this heaven?”
Remember when?
In anticipation of the 50th
Anniversary of Charles
Armstrong School, we’re
looking for volunteers.
We’ll need your help in
finding alumni, tracking
down memorabilia, and
helping us brainstorm for
ways to celebrate.
If you are interested in
helping work on the 50th
Anniversary Celebration,
please call Cynthia Wolfe

Thanks to Wilbur Mattison, the answer is “No, this is the Charles Armstrong School.”
The students might have responded, “It seems like heaven to me.”

ENDOWMENTS
An endowed gift is an enduring symbol of the bond between Charles Armstrong School and you, our exemplary community
of supporters. It represents a promise to future generations that the life-changing opportunities you, your children, your
friends and families have experienced at Armstrong continue to be available to all who would benefit from an Armstrong
education. Equally important, endowed gifts play a key role in charting the school’s future and assuring fiscal stability.
• Charles Armstrong Memorial Endowment Fund supports research into the cause of language differences.
• Malvina Botely Scholarship Endowment Fund provides financial support to qualified families.
• Kevin Harvey Endowment provides financial support to qualified families.
• Robert C. Kagel Financial Aid Endowment provides financial support to qualified families.
• Bill Mattison Student Enrichment Endowment supports Armstrong students who exhibit the qualities of hard
work, dedication and perserverance that Bill Mattison embodied.
Patricia O’Dell and Richard Brown
• Patricia and Wilbur Mattison, M.D. Scholarship Endowment provides financial support to Charles Armstrong School.

• Milford-Henry Endowment Fund provides financial support to qualified families, professional training for faculty,
and the development of new programs for the school’s curriculum.
• Harry S. and Ellen McCance Parker III Endowment for Outreach and Teacher Recruitment and Retention
provides funding for outreach and teacher recruitment and retention.
• The Mark Copland Santana Endowment Fund. Doris and John Santana and Trustees of Charles Armstrong
School established this fund to honor the life and memory of Mark Copland Santana. This fund provides financial
support to qualified families.
If you would like to contribute to one of Armstrong’s existing funds or establish a new fund, please contact the
Development Office at 650-592-7570, ext. 206.
Endowed funds require a minimum of $50,000. Donors may take up to five years to reach that threshold. Once that
threshold is reached, the school uses a percentage of the income from the fund each year for the purposes set forth in
the endowment agreement.
You may also make a scholarship grant, with no intent to endow a scholarship in perpetuity. Grants are made each
year from the principal according to award guidelines and in the amount that the donor, in consultation with Charles
Armstrong School, elects. The principal is credited with its proportionate share of the earnings of the scholarship portfolio
until the fund is exhausted. Generally, the minimum distribution from a scholarship grant to one or more recipients
each year is $1,000.

Thoughtfully planned, any of the following gifts may provide important
personal benefits while empowering a gift to Charles Armstrong School.
• A bequest, which is a gift included in your will or living trust,
is a flexible, time-honored way to establish a lasting legacy.
• A gift of retirement assets, such as 401(k) plans or IRAs, may allow you to
give more money than you thought possible while reducing taxes that may
otherwise consume these assets.
