Helping your child discover the joy of reading

The Roberts Academy is a full-day, private elementary school for children with dyslexia with small classes and exceptional teachers.

School starts August 18 in Elon, N.C.

A proven model for teaching children with dyslexia to read at Vanderbilt, Mercer, Florida Southern … and now Elon.

Roberts Academy at Elon University is one of four university-based, all-day schools that teach children with dyslexia to read. On every campus, the results are the same: children learn to read and return to their home schools after 2-3 years ready to succeed.

Personalized
Instruction

Students at Roberts Academy follow individual learning plans designed around the way they learn. Your child’s teachers assess where they are, set clear goals, and adjust instruction as they grow. This is not one-size-fits-all.

Always Know Where Your Child Stands

You will see exactly what is working. We measure growth continuously and share it with you through ongoing communication, conferences, and strategies you can use at home. You will know where your child is, what is clicking, and what comes next.

A Full School Day,
Not a Reading Lab

Your child attends a full school day with art, science, outdoor learning, and more. Literacy is woven through every subject. When your child succeeds across every subject, confidence follows.

Children Return to
Their Home School

This is not a permanent placement. Most children attend for 2 to 3 years, then return to their home school reading at or above grade level. We coordinate with your local school from day one so the transition is planned, supported, and successful.

You literally changed my kid’s life and gave her a real shot at success.
