About the Chandler School
Our Mission & Vision
Chandler is an independent K–8 school in Greenville for bright students with dyslexia and other language-based learning differences. Our size allows us to know students deeply, teach responsively, and make room for meaningful challenge.
The right environment can change how a student sees learning and themselves.
OUR MISSION
The mission of the Chandler School is to empower talented and bright students with dyslexia or other related language-based learning differences to become effective learners.
At Chandler, empowerment is practical. Students learn to understand how they learn, use strategies independently, take on meaningful challenges, and move forward with confidence and resilience.
What is empowerment?
Students leave Chandler ready to move forward as…
Academic growth matters, but the goal is larger: students who understand themselves as learners and can advocate for what they need.

72 Maximum Students
Our long-term commitment
Quality over quantity.
Chandler intentionally limits enrollment so students and teachers can build strong educational relationships. That closeness allows faculty to notice what is working, respond when something is not, and help each student discover their strengths and interests.

What Families Should Know
Who We Serve
Chandler serves students in kindergarten through eighth grade who benefit from small classes, specialized teaching techniques, and an individualized curriculum.
What Students Learn
Chandler’s curriculum meets SCISA advanced accreditation criteria across language and literature, math, science, social studies, and physical education.
How We Teach
Faculty use structured, multisensory instruction, including the Orton-Gillingham Approach, alongside hands-on and experiential learning.
Where We Learn
Our campus occupies the historic C. Granville Wyche house and surrounding buildings on three and a half acres, eight minutes from downtown Greenville.
Children are not widgets. One type of curriculum does not fit every learner.
Each year, Chandler adapts instruction to the students in front of us. Our mission stays constant while the path remains personal.
