Dear Parents,

You already know Sandhills School for the individual attention we give each of our students. Of course, that attention also extends outside the classroom. So in response to many inquires and encouraging requests from parents, we’re proud to announce that Sandhills will be adding a ninth grade class for the 2008-2009 school year.

What does that mean for you and your child? It means you’ll know he or she will continue to benefit and learn from a multi-sensory education, enriched curriculum, individualized instruction and minimal teacher/student ratio. In other words, continuity. We’re currently refining our course offerings, but rest assured, our ninth grade curriculum will exemplify the best qualities of a college preparatory environment and focus on the strengths of each student.

Sandhills has a long tradition of value and character education as well as a philosophy of trust, mutual respect, self-discipline and community service. We have a record of success with our students, your children, and are eagerly looking forward to the opportunities that offering a ninth grade brings all our students and parents.

But our commitment doesn’t stop there. To give your child even more continuity in preparation for his or her future, we’ll also be adding a grade each year to create a full high school. In fact, plans are already in motion on this exciting new project.

Look forward to receiving more information about our exciting plans. In the meantime, please don’t hesitate to contact me or Ramsay Bokinsky with any questions.

Sincerely,

Anne Vickers

Head of School
