EAGLE HILL FOUNDATION INC

EAGLE HILL SCHOOL IS A LIFE-CHANGING EXPERIENCE FOR STUDENTS AGES 5-15 WITH LANGUAGE-BASED LEARNING DIFFERENCES. THE SCHOOL OFFERS THESE STUDENTS THE OPPORTUNITY TO DEVELOP SELF-CONFIDENCE AND CHARACTER NECESSARY TO MEET THE CHALLENGES THEY WILL FACE IN MORE TRADITIONAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS. THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM IS SKILLS-BASED, RATHER THAN GRADE DRIVEN, AND INDIVIDUALIZED BASED ON THE DIAGNOSED NEEDS OF EACH STUDENT, EAGLE HILL SERVES STUDENTS WITH A NUMBER OF LEARNING DIFFERENCES INCLUDING: DYSLEXIA, DYSCALCULIA, DSYGRAPHIA, ADHD, AUDITORY PROCESSING DISORDER, AND EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONING DISORDER. TEACHERS AT EAGLE HILL ARE HIGHLY CREDENTIATED AND EXPERTLY TRAINED IN VARIOUS EDUCATIONAL METHODOLOGIES, AS NO ONE SPECIFIC METHOD IS USED TO ACHIEVE ACADEMIC SUCCESS FOR OUR STUDENTS. CLASS SIZES ARE SMALL, WITH AN AVERAGE CLASS OF SIX STUDENTS, ALLOWING TEACHERS TO BUILD A CLOSE RAPPORT WITH THEIR STUDENTS AND TAILOR EVERY LESSON TO THEIR LEARNING NEEDS, TEACHERS ARE SUPPORTED BY AN ADVISORY TEAM IN EACH SCHOOL DIVISION. THESE TEAMS INCLUDE MASTER TEACHERS, ACADEMIC ADVISORS, SPEEACH AND LANGUAGE PATHOLOGISTS, AND MEMBERS OF THE PSYCHOLOGICAL SERVICES TEAM.
