The Southport School

We are here to change the conversation about LD/ADHD education. Our students are bright, creative, and unique learners who deserve an environment in which to thrive, not just survive.

Although all of our students navigate the same academic day, each of our students is enrolled in classes based on learning strengths and areas where more support is needed. We offer a challenging, hands-on curriculum that reawakens a love of learning, while embracing and celebrating each student's unique strengths and learning pathways. Our goal is to prepare each student with tools that will help them be successful after leaving EHSS.

Foster academic program development that integrates current research with evidence-based approaches.

Develop engaging and LD-specific enrichment and activity programs.

Integrate technology - including instructional and assistive technologies - throughout the program.

Strengthen the school transition process, including measuring outcomes for students leaving Eagle Hill Southport School.

Our students are the core of our work and decision making, and we want to create the best environment for them to learn, explore, develop their full potential and prepare for their next academic experience. In order to do this we have developed the following strategies are part of our strategic plan in order to ensure we are making the best decisions for our students and the sustainability of our programs.

Develop a financial and physical master plan, including strategies to maintain affordable tuition.

Create pathways for a diverse socio-economic student population.

Integrate the roles of the development, admissions and marketing through an Advancement Office.

Examine partnerships with local, state, and national organizations.

Investigate mission-aligned alternative revenue streams.

Foster continued Board of Directors development.

Maintain awareness of and make ecologically responsible choices.

Through out strategic planning process we were able to determine our short and long term goals. We are continually training our educators to the highest levels using research and evidence-based approaches. This year all of our faculty will be trained in Orton-Gillingham. We encourage all staff members to exercise and embrace the creative minds of our students and one-another. We challenge all community members to develop their individual strengths, self-esteem, and self-advocacy skills. We engage our students as learners, and the broader world as influencers and informers on learning differences and ADHD. We strive to foster an understanding and appreciation of the value of different kinds of minds.

While all of these are progress, they are approached each day anew.
