SSDHH offers a bilingual/bicultural education. Our students learn both American Sign Language (ASL) and written English. They learn the history of both the hearing and Deaf cultures. SSDHH provides students with Deaf role models and encourage community involvement. In addition, SSDHH offers students the resources they need to jump start their college education.
Since 1998, Sequoia School for the Deaf and Hard of Hearings (SSDHH) has been on a mission of educating K-12 Deaf and hard of hearing students and enabling them to attend college, play sports, reach out to the community and become well rounded and well educated adults.
SSDHHs unique bilingual-bicultural approach to Deaf education empowers students with the knowledge that they can do anything and everything except hear.
Sharing a campus with hearing schools is also an integral part of the educational philosophy at SSDHH. Deaf students take some classes with their hearing peers to enhance their comfort and knowledge of both the hearing and deaf cultures.
At the Horne campus there are a total of five charter schools that share the facilities and provide a powerhouse of resources and education options to our students.
