Eagle Hill-Southport is a not for-profit day school accredited by both the State of Connecticut and the Connecticut Association of Independent Schools, and is operated by a volunteer Board of Directors. Eagle Hill-Southport is also a member of the Connecticut Association of Private Special Education Facilities and is associated with the Fairchester Group of Independent Schools.

Eagle Hill-Southport helps boys and girls, aged 6 to 16, with learning problems that interfere with the way information is received, processed; or expressed.

A child with learning disabilities may also develop secondary emotional symptoms including frustration, and low self-esteem but the disability itself is not emotionally based.The educational program at Eagle Southport is specifically designed for children with average to superior intelligence. Many also have athletic, artistic and academic talents.

Before admission, information is gathered about each child's overall potential and skill development. Then an informed assessment is made about the suitability of the Eagle Hill-Southport program for that child.
