CHC’s Sand Hill School offers a summer experience that blends skill-building, confidence, and fun for students with learning differences.
Designed specifically for students with dyslexia, ADHD, language-based learning differences, or school-based anxiety, the Sand Hill School Summer Program offers an engaging and supportive environment where students feel safe to learn, grow, and enjoy.
Our four-week summer session is ideal for children who face challenges in reading, writing, spelling, or math during the school year. The program blends evidence-based academic instruction with activities focused on social-emotional learning, executive functioning, and good old-fashioned summer fun.
Small Group Instruction in reading, writing, and math, tailored to each child’s needs
Executive Functioning Skills like planning, organizing, and self-advocacy
Social-Emotional Learning through games, mindfulness, and team-building
Outdoor Fun & Exploration including science experiments, field games, nature walks, and more
