As a parent, I liked REACH for my student because of the time spent with like-minded peers, engaging seminar with talented teachers, wonderful counselors and staff, and the opportunity to grow independence in a safe, nurturing environment.

REACH Parent

Thank you so much to all the staff and instructors! My child had a magical week and is really hoping to go back next year. He still talks about what he learned and experienced, and says that Dr. Lawhead is a fantastic, fun, engaging, and supportive teacher!

REACH Parent

Our son had an amazing experience. He loved his class and was well integrated into the class work despite having significant dyslexia. He was anxious about the week and ended up having a fantastic time.
