Learning that meets the student

Chandler combines structured literacy, multisensory teaching, small classes, and close teacher relationships to create an environment where mistakes are part of learning.


All Chandler faculty are trained in the Orton-Gillingham approach, using structured, sequential, and systematic instruction to help students develop strong reading, comprehension, and writing skills.

Orton-Gillingham Instruction

Multisensory Learning

Learning comes to life through hands-on, kinesthetic experiences that engage multiple senses and support a deeper understanding of concepts.

Small group classes and personalized reading and language tutorials provide targeted support in each student's areas of greatest academic need.

Individualized Instruction

A place where students

can see what they are

capable of.

Progress at Chandler is not only a higher reading level or a stronger paper. It is the moment a student raises a hand, takes on a challenge, or stops assuming that school success belongs to someone else.

Making mistakes is how we learn best. It’s that unbelievable feeling of removing the training wheels for the first time.
— Dana Blackhurst, Founder

Beyond the Classroom

From local field studies to overnight trips, students connect academic ideas to the wider world and discover new strengths along the way.
