Why Fairhill

We are a community dedicated to educating and inspiring students with learning differences.

A Multi-Sensory Approach

Fairhill’s staff guides individual students in “learning to learn” through a multi-sensory approach to teaching, a small student/teacher ratio, and a warm, supportive atmosphere.
