What the Parents Say

"Do you have a bright child that is having learning problems in the traditional school system? There is help at the Highlands School. My son spent his eighth grade year at Highlands. His reading went from a first grade level up to a seventh grade level in one school year. The small classrooms and a lot of hands-on activities are some of the benefits. The motivated staff are angels in disguise. If your child needs educational help it's worth every penny. It is your child's future. Educate wisely."

"[We] wish to thank all of you at Highlands School for what we see as a miracle in [our son]. Not only have his skills in math and reading improved, so has his self-confidence. From the bottom of our hearts-Thank you."

The Highlands School admits children of appropriate age (5-14) for grades K-8, who have the potential for average to above average achievement levels and are not currently achieving academically at their age level.
Students admitted to The Highlands School demonstrate difficulty in one or more areas of skill development:

central auditory processing
verbal communication (receptive and expressive)
speech articulation
phonemic awareness
language arts
other academic subjects (math, social studies, science)
attention and concentration
short-term or long-term memory
gross or fine motor coordination
perceptual-motor integration
organization, study and social skills

Children functioning below grade level and demonstrating difficulties in skill development often display attentional difficulties and impulsivity due to processing difficulties. The Highlands School admits children with such behaviors if we feel they can be managed in our classroom setting.

The curriculum and structure of The Highlands School cannot accommodate children whose difficulties are primarily emotionally based or who present excessive behavioral problems.

Students entering our half-day Kindergarten program must by 5 years old by September 1.
