Wye River is a coed, independent high school serving bright students with learning differences such as ADHD, dyslexia, or anxiety. We are committed to affecting positive change in the lives of our students through an individualized, engaging, high school experience. At Wye River, often for the first time, students find a place where they can thrive not just survive in school.
Through the right balance of challenge, support and engagement, we prepare our students for college, career, and life. Our curriculum highlights real-life learning, collaborative problem-solving, and project-based learning, igniting an interest and a motivation in our teens. We address individual academic needs with research-based teaching strategies inclusive of Orton Gillingham and a specialized writing program that benefits any level of writer. A daily study-hall with an advisor helps every student develop skills in organization, time management, effective studying, and self-advocacy.
Our program ensures a well-rounded experience involving students in athletics, art, theater, technology, and music. All students begin each day with morning sports and exercise - improving students’ energy and focus throughout the day. We find a high percentage of our students possess musical and visual-spatial talents. Through a myriad of electives, we foster these creative strengths.
At Wye River, we intentionally cultivate a caring culture. Qualities we consistently see in our students include - intelligence, creativity, resilience, originality, humor, and compassion. Wye River teachers and staff are amazed at our students’ capacity for empathy and personal growth. To see first hand what our community is all about, we invite interested families to contact us and schedule a personal tour.
