Join Us for Summer at Sand Hill School 2023!

Summer at Sand Hill SchoolJoin us  for a fun summer program with a balance of social development and remediation for your child.

The summer session of Sand Hill School is designed to provide a new school experience for children who have completed grades 2-5 (ages 8–11 years) who have had a rocky school year due to struggles with reading, writing, spelling and/or mathematics.

A New School Experience

At Sand Hill Summer kids with dyslexia, language-based learning disability or specific learning disability experience success in a skill-building program that balances fun activities featuring students’ own interests and talents with evidence-based support in the areas of their academic challenges.

What will the day look like?
