Sandhills is a school in Columbia, SC for first through eighth graders with a diagnosed learning difference.  Sandhills School is a place where students who learn differently are taught differently by trained, dedicated teachers who understand the needs of students with dyslexia and ADHD.  It is a place where the teachers help each child feel special and important and where the children are taught to believe in themselves. We recognize that our children are smart and creative, and so while they may struggle in a traditional classroom, they thrive in our care.   It is a place where failure is replaced by success and fear by hope.

Using the Orton-Gillingham Approach, our students acquire the skills necessary for reading, writing, and spelling.   Because of the small group classes and 3-1 Orton-Gillingham instruction our students make remarkable gains in all academic areas particularly with language skills reading and writing.

We incorporate the principles of Howard Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences and help our students discover their strengths. They then use that newly found confidence to attempt the areas in which they struggle. As a result, our children are happy, curious, creative, and resourceful. They acknowledge that some things are difficult, but they willingly accept the challenge to move on. 

We invite you to come see us. We are located on Hallbrook Drive about two miles past the VA Hospital towards Sumter. You are welcome to visit and participate in the joy we experience each day. Please call for an appointment.  We look forward to hearing from you.
