Learning that meets the student

Chandler combines structured literacy, multisensory teaching, small classes, and close teacher relationships in a positive environment where mistakes are part of learning.

Orton-Gillingham Instruction

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.

Multisensory Learning

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

Individualized Instruction

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

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

Our Belief

All students have the capacity to learn. Children with language-based learning differences can reach their academic potential through a combination of perseverance and proper instruction within a positive and supportive environment.
