Faculty & Staff

Our expert faculty empowers learners

At The Southport School, our world-class faculty meets students where they are. All classroom teachers are trained in Orton-Gillingham, the best evidence-based approach for remediating students with language-based learning differences like dyslexia, structured literacy and language comprehension, and The Southport School's proprietary research and evidence-based executive function coaching model. 

Professional development is a priority at The Southport School. Our teachers undergo extensive in-house training before stepping into classrooms, then receive weekly professional training from regional and national experts while benefitting from continuous mentorship.

With a firm mindset that they must reach each student and then deliver the best research and evidence-based instruction possible to help them succeed, our teachers develop concrete strategies to extract, analyze, and guide each student to their full potential.

We provide challenging and rewarding activities that nurture independent thinking. In teaching students to problem solve and recognize and utilize their strengths, they learn to foster supportive relationships with caring adults and make excellent academic, social and emotional strides. I'm incredibly fortunate to be a part of a community that plays a pivotal role in students' development as learners and human beings."
