Sandhills School

Sandhills School is a 1st-12th grade college preparatory school for bright students with dyslexia and related learning differences. Through individualized Orton-Gillingham instruction, our students gain the confidence, master the tools, and participate in the opportunities they need to realize their potential in academics and life.

For nearly 50 years, Sandhills School has been a life-changing place for bright students with dyslexia and related language-based learning differences. Here, students are known as individuals, supported in their challenges, and empowered to embrace their unique strengths.

As the only Orton-Gillingham-accredited, 1st-12th grade college-preparatory school in South Carolina, Sandhills offers students what few schools can: a full day of individualized, evidence-based instruction delivered by nationally certified teachers.

With a remarkable 3:1 student-to-teacher ratio and dual accreditation in both student instruction and teacher training, Sandhills stands among just ten schools in the U.S. with this distinction.

Your support helps us keep this transformative experience within reach-because when students with dyslexia are taught the way they learn best, the results are extraordinary.
