The Fairhill School

16150 Preston Rd, Dallas, TX, 75248-0752
Fairhill is a private, non-profit college preparatory school serving students in grades one through twelve. Fairhill's primary purpose is to provide a superior education for students of average and above intelligence who have been diagnosed with a learning difference such as Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, Dyscalculia, Auditory Processing Disorder, or Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. Fairhill's staff works to develop strategies to help individual students "learn to learn" through a multi-sensory approach to teaching, a small student / teacher ratio, and a warm, supportive atmosphere. At Fairhill, each student is recognized as an individual with distinct strengths and weaknesses. Students are taught to maximize their strengths and to employ tools and processes that minimize their weaknesses. A Fairhill education is designed for the whole child, to develop a firm foundation in problem-solving and critical thinking skills that will enhance emotional, social, and academic development.
