Greenhills is an independent school offering grades 1 through 6 that was established in 1990. The school is distinctive in its emphasis on its mission, which states that it is for students with dyslexia (specific language learning disabilities) of average or higher intelligence. This includes students with related disorders such as central auditory processing difficulties, speech and language difficulties, sensory integration, and Attention Deficit Disorder which co-exists with dyslexia. It does not extend to high functioning autism, nor Asberger syndrome. |

Greenhills meets all the requirements of President George W. Bush's Leave No Child Behind Legislation, and the Reading First Legislation, as a research based reading program. |

GOALS * Greenhills School's goal is to return students to regular educational setting when their achievement in reading and mathematics are at the level of their intellectual potential. This achievement may be above their grade placement. As many as one-third of our students return to regular educational settings, either public or private, each year. * To lessen the difficulty with handwriting and spelling to a manageable level. * To teach concepts and problem-solving ability in Math, Science, Geography, and Social Studies. * To promote healthful living, good sportsmanship, and lifelong physical skills through active participation in physical education activities. * To cultivate talent in the fine arts by providing instruction that taps dyslexic students' talent and creativity in visual-spatial areas. * Finally, to provide each student with academic skills and to instill in students a belief in themselves and the renewed will to work and to succeed. Greenhills hopes to accomplish this goal within 2 to 4 years of enrollment. |
