Who are we?
Oak Hill transforms students into confident, resilient and independent learners by supporting and developing their academic, social/emotional skills and executive functioning.
Our unique research-based, half-day programme is taught in English, and provides students with three highly structured, multi-sensory 50-minute lessons in reading, written language and mathematics. The 4:1 student-to-teacher ratio promotes and assists learning, providing students with the individual support they need to succeed.
Typically, students enrol for up to two years, spending half days at Oak Hill, while continuing to attend their regular school for the remainder of the day.
Our programme assists students to reach their true potential. For children experiencing difficulties in the mainstream learning environment, the Oak Hill approach really is a life changing experience.

Our History
Oak Hill, a not-for-profit programme, is proud to be the only European replication of the Hill Learning Center (in North Carolina). It was first envisioned by forward thinking members of the Oak Foundation in 2006, recognising that students with dyslexia and/or AD(H)D in the Geneva and Vaud area needed specific and targeted support. Since opening, Oak Hill has established its position in the community, working closely with international, bilingual, Swiss and French schools, to help countless students to reach their potential.
Our Vision
We advocate for and support all students with dyslexia/AD(H)D in the English speaking, international community of Geneva and Vaud. As a centre of excellence, we empower students who learn differently to reach their full potential in literacy and numeracy.
