Fairhill School

BUILDING CONFIDENCE. ACHIEVING SUCCESS.

Academic struggles due to a learning difference, such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, or attention deficit disorder, are frustrating for both students and parents. Fairhill’s vision is to educate, engage, and inspire students with learning differences while building the foundations for future success. Fairhill School helps students learn how to learn despite their learning differences. By helping students overcome learning obstacles and realize their potential, students gain confidence in their own abilities and achieve successes they never thought possible.

A Fairhill education offers a multisensory approach to learning, a small student-to-teacher ratio, and a warm, supportive atmosphere. The dedicated, caring, and experienced staff helps students maximize their strengths and develop strategies and techniques to minimize their weaknesses. While Fairhill places great importance on the basic skills of reading, math, language arts, and study skills, the school also provides enrichment classes, such as art, music, drama, communication skills, technology, and athletics. Fairhill prepares students through targeted instruction, including literacy and language therapy, executive function development, and a college-and-career-readiness program. Fairhill promotes confidence, mindfulness, and perseverance for lifelong learning.

Fairhill is a private, nonprofit school that has been serving students with learning differences for more than 50 years. Fairhill’s college-preparatory curriculum is designed to help students develop the problem-solving and critical-thinking skills necessary for 21st-century learners. Fairhill also focuses on developing and supporting students’ emotional and social development. At Fairhill, students can realize their greatest potential. Fairhill School is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.
