ADHD High School Students Welcome: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) is a general term for a variety of attentional disorders, including ADD (no hyperactivity). At WRUS, we often find their "disorders" to be their strengths, if channeled well. Our comprehensive approach includes using the strengths and gifts of each student's energy, creativity and "outside the box" thought process. We run required interscholastic sports practice in the morning, providing every student with an outlet for their morning energy and providing time for their teenage brains to wake up. Their academic day begins at 9:45 and ends at 4:20, providing a structured environment for our students later in the afternoon.

At Wye River Upper School we accept applications all year and will issue credit based on prior transcripts and date of entry. We require documentation of abilities, strengths and needs through psycho-educational testing. Please feel free to contact us for referrals for testing at 410. 827.5822 or info@wyeriverupperschool.org.

While Wye River Upper School is not able to support students with significant cognitive, emotional or behavioral disturbances, we do encourage students with ADHD and dyslexia plus other unique learning styles to apply.
