Northwood Hills is one of the closest neighborhoods to Fairhill School. If your child has been diagnosed with dyslexia, dysgraphia, or another reading-based learning difference, you already know that traditional classroom instruction is not designed for how they process language.
Fairhill School sits at 16150 Preston Road, Dallas, TX 75248, just a few minutes north of Northwood Hills. We are a college preparatory school built from the ground up for students who learn differently.
Closest Specialized School
Fairhill uses structured, multisensory teaching methods designed specifically for students with language-based learning differences. Our teachers do not simply slow down the standard curriculum. They teach differently.
Students with dyslexia receive direct instruction in how their brain processes language, multisensory academic methods across all subjects, and a 7:1 student-to-teacher ratio so teachers catch struggles in real time. Many students also have overlapping diagnoses. Dyslexia often co-occurs with dysgraphia, dyscalculia, ADHD, or auditory processing disorder. Our faculty address the full spectrum.
Every classroom, every day. Teachers know your child by name and catch struggles before they become failures.
Our graduates arrive at college knowing how they learn, what they need, and how to advocate for themselves.
Since 1971. 70% of faculty hold advanced degrees with 12-15 years average tenure teaching students with learning differences.
What Changes
This approach has produced a 100% college acceptance rate and a 55-year track record of graduates who arrive at university prepared to advocate for themselves. Students stop seeing their learning difference as a limitation and start understanding it as something they can work with.
Every teacher at Fairhill chose to specialize in learning differences. Seventy percent hold advanced degrees in the field. They average 12-15 years of tenure. Your child builds a relationship with educators who know them deeply and understand how to unlock their potential.
Beyond academics, students develop confidence, independence, and the self-advocacy skills that carry them through college and into their careers.
