Additionally, the project strengthened resources for students and the community, by reopening the Diagnostic Assessment Center and constructing a multi-purpose performance space.
Our Admission Process
Appropriate placement for each applicant is Fairhill’s first concern. Admission is based on information gathered from review of psycho-educational testing and academic records, followed by personal interviews with parents and the student.
Fairhill is an independent non-sectarian, co-educational institution open to qualified candidates regardless of race, color, sex, age, ethnicity, national origin, religion, or disability. The Fairhill family is a diverse group of individuals dedicated to a common goal: providing a supportive atmosphere where learning different students have the opportunity to thrive.

More About Fairhill
The friends that I made during high school are still my friends to this day. We could relate to one another because we all had different learning disabilities and that was “normal”. I didn’t feel like an outcast at school like I use to before.
