not all
great minds think alike. 

By fully engaging each student in challenging educational experiences that build their skills and self-confidence to position them for success and fulfillment in all walks of life. Some of our students have ADHD; others have Dyslexia while others have anxiety. They come to Wye River to discover their strengths and find the right level of support to achieve their education goals.
