Trailhead Community Farm School offers a year-round therapeutic, experiential education program in Upstate South Carolina. We support neurodivergent students—especially those with Autism Spectrum Disorder and/or ADHD—through individualized academics, therapeutic supports, and meaningful real-world experiences.
Our mission is to provide support to neurodivergent students who have experienced difficulties achieving success in other academic settings while also empowering the family as a whole.
Trailhead Community Farm School was founded to meet the critical need for a neurodivergent-affirming program that integrates both academic and clinical services for students and their families. In addition to serving enrolled students, we are committed to providing educational opportunities for the broader community and advocating for the needs and strengths of the neurodivergent population.
Established in 2022, Trailhead Community Farm School opened its doors in 2023 with just two students. Since then, we have supported more than 20 students and their families, continuing to grow our mission of inclusion, empowerment, and individualized learning.
We believe that schools should offer more than just education. It should also address social and emotional needs and facilitate the development of healthy relationships.
We are committed to providing support not only to students but also to their entire families. While we understand that at times a child may benefit from being placed outside the home, our goal is to offer an alternative to residential placement by providing comprehensive support to the family. We do not require a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder or ADHD.
Trailhead Community Farm School is a nonprofit organization with 501(c)3 tax-exempt status.
By offering year-round schooling, we provide consistency and routine that are essential for students to thrive. Our comprehensive approach addresses both academic and emotional needs, ensuring that students receive the necessary support to reach their full potential.
