High School at Sandhills: Preparing for College & Beyond
Inspiring high schoolers with individualized learning and real-world experiences that cultivate independence, leadership, and college readiness.
Sandhills high schoolers advance their academic skills, preparing for the rigor of college and beyond. With individualized instruction rooted in the Orton-Gillingham approach and a deep understanding of how students with dyslexia learn best, we empower them to overcome challenges and grow into confident, independent learners within a supportive community. Small class sizes foster meaningful relationships with teachers, provide personalized attention, and open doors to unique enrichment opportunities that help students reach their full potential, all while preparing them for the academic demands of college.
