Our Mission

Our Mission

Eagle Hill School offers children who learn differently the opportunity to transform into confident and resilient students empowered with strategies to meet challenges and flourish beyond Eagle Hill.

Our Philosophy

Core Values

Belonging
Eagle Hill embraces students with an array of learning profiles with acceptance and understanding. Our students and their families thrive in an environment where neurodiversity is honored and challenges can be met with collaboratively.

Resilience
Eagle Hill teaches students how to meet challenges with grit. We cultivate curiosity for what is daunting and equip students with strategies and mindsets to solve problems. As students increase their capacity to persevere, they learn to value mistakes as stepping stones.

Self Confidence
Eagle Hill allows students to view themselves in a context larger than their learning difference. In remediating their learning challenges, students also learn to scale perceived limits, adopt new strategies, and self-advocate. Above all, they take pride in their distinctive learning profiles, knowing there are no bounds to what they can achieve.

Whole Child Approach
Eagle Hill believes the most impactful learning takes place when students are taught holistically, with cognitive development taking place in tandem with social-emotional growth. We blend academics with interpersonal skill-building and self-awareness We individualize our approach for each child, addressing multiple facets of development so that students may access their fullest potential.

Reading. Writing. Independence. Confidence. Self-advocacy.

At Eagle Hill School, your child will develop all these skills – and more – skills that start in the classroom and stay with your child everywhere they go.

Our program is designed for students who have:

By the time your child leaves Eagle Hill, they will have the academic tools, self-confidence, and self-advocacy skills to thrive in school and in life. As a result of their Eagle Hill education, they will have a firm sense of self-worth that will carry them through life.

At Eagle Hill, your child’s learning experience will be completely customized.

Each child is carefully evaluated, and based on the specific nature of his or her learning difficulty, a personalized educational program is developed.

No single remedial technique is followed exclusively

Each child’s program draws from as many approaches as needed.

Children learn and advance at their own pace

Our low student-teacher ratio provides the flexibility and time to address individual needs in each area.

Your child will have a full, rewarding school experience.

Students participate in a broad range of activities in addition to their academic courses.

  • The athletic program, designed to enhance fitness and promote skill development, is an integral part of life at Eagle Hill.
  • Music, art, and activities such as photography, computer coding, and dance are a part of every student’s program.
  • Student Council and community service programs provide opportunities for leadership and service, enriching our strong sense of community.

Your child will be prepared for continued success after Eagle Hill.

Our goal is to provide intensive instruction to children with learning differences, and prepare them to return to the educational mainstream.

  • At Eagle Hill, each student learns to understand and overcome their individual challenges. They gain tools and strategies they can use throughout their life, and they learn to advocate for themselves.
  • Faculty and administrators carefully assess each returning child’s progress and to recommend candidates for graduation. During the child’s last year, their educational program evolves to help prepare for their post-Eagle Hill placement.
