Summer at Sand Hill School - Sand Hill School at CHC

We are excited to announce the Summer 2023 Program at Sand Hill School!

Tuesday, June 13 – Friday, June 30, 2023

Morning Educational Program: 8:30 am - 12:30 pm

A New School Experience

The summer session of Sand Hill School is designed to provide a new school experience for children who have completed grades 2-7 (ages 8-12 years) who have had a rocky school year due to struggles with reading, writing, spelling and/or mathematics. At Sand Hill Summer kids with dyslexia, LBLD or specific learning disability experience success in a skill-building program that balances fun activities utilizing students’ own interests and talents with evidence-based support in the areas of their academic challenges.

What will the day look like?

The day begins at 8:30 am with a mindfulness warm up exercise together as a community. After, students in small groups will rotate through three class-type activity periods, including:

Morning specialized small group instruction with low student/teacher ratio in reading, writing and math.
Lessons embedded with important teaching of Executive Function skills, such as routines, material organization, planning, self-advocacy and use of accommodations
Social Emotional Learning: Teamwork, mindfulness, regulation, and social skill development and practice
Summer Fun and Recreation: Science experiments, field games, nature walks, scavenger hunts, water fun and more!
