For students with ADHD in the Preston Highlands area, traditional school can feel like a daily battle. Sit still. Pay attention. Stop fidgeting. The instructions never stop, but the classroom never changes.
Fairhill School takes a different approach. Located at 16150 Preston Road, Dallas, TX 75248, just minutes from Preston Highlands, we are a college preparatory school designed for students who learn differently.
A Different Approach to ADHD
ADHD does not mean a student cannot learn at a high level. It means the environment has to match how they learn. At Fairhill, a 7:1 student-to-teacher ratio means teachers notice when attention drifts and redirect in the moment. Structured routines with built-in flexibility give ADHD students the predictability they need without the rigidity that frustrates them.
Movement and engagement are woven into instruction, not treated as disruption. Executive function coaching teaches students how to organize, plan, and manage their time. These are skills that matter as much as any academic subject, especially for ADHD students heading to college.
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
Many Preston Highlands families arrive at Fairhill after years of trying to make traditional school work through medication adjustments, 504 plans, and extra support. Those tools have value, but they do not change the classroom. At Fairhill, the classroom is already built for your child.
Our faculty have 12-15 years average tenure and 70% hold advanced degrees in fields related to learning differences. They understand ADHD not as a behavior problem but as a learning profile that requires specific instructional strategies.
Students develop self-advocacy, time management, and organizational skills throughout their time here. Our 100% college acceptance rate is not just about academics. It is about producing graduates who know themselves and can manage their own learning.
