We’re a small school doing big things.
Our student-to-teacher is 7:1, but we understand that a great classroom means more than just a small size.
Wishing @florence a happy birthday! 🥳🎉
When musician Florence Welch speaks about her dyslexia and dyscalculia, it highlights an experience shared by many students.
Known as the lead vocalist of Florence + the Machine, the artist has spoken about how learning differences shaped her childhood and continue to influence her work.
Reflecting on her school years, Florence shared how traditional labels fell short:
“At school, the phrase I heard most commonly associated with my dyslexia and dyscalculia was ‘learning difficulties’; not exactly helpful, or accurate. It was hard; I had to find a way to make life work for me.”
Instead of relying on standard methods, she developed visual and auditory strategies:
“I know I have an intelligence, a certain type of intelligence, but it’s visual and auditory; I remember and respond to colours and textures, to musical notes, not dates and names.”
Her perspective became central to her success, demonstrating that thinking differently is a strength:
“People would talk as if my songs, my achievements, my career etc. had been achieved despite things like my dyslexia. But I was thinking, might it not be because of those things?”
Florence’s story shows that learning differences bring strengths, and with the right environment, individuals thrive.

Press and hold the screen to see which IB Learner Profile attribute you get! 🌟📚
The IB Learner Profile is made up of ten attributes that define an internationally-minded student, focusing on well-roundedness and responsibility beyond academics.
As an IB PYP World School, inquiry drives everyday learning at The Roig Academy. We pair hands-on learning with structured literacy instruction so our students with language-based learning disabilities, including dyslexia, can lead with questions, strengthen reading skills, and put knowledge into practice.

It’s been 84 years since Miami last hit 100°F! ☀️🥵
The last time it was this hot in Miami was in 1942. Our student takes a look back in time to see how much the world has changed since then.

Our Mission
We create a foundation for success.
Our mission is to empower students with language-based learning disabilities, including dyslexia, by providing a comprehensive, evidence-based education rooted in both structured literacy and the IB Primary Years Programme framework. Through explicit, systematic literacy instruction and inquiry-based, transdisciplinary learning, we build upon each student's unique strengths and cultivate the attributes of the IB Learner Profile, nurturing students who are reflective, courageous, curious, and caring. We foster student agency and self-efficacy, encouraging learners to take ownership of their education and transform into active, internationally minded contributors to their local and global communities. Guided by a commitment to the whole child, we support student wellness, personal growth, and a lifelong love of learning.

Learning Differences
“The Roig Academy and Dr. Jennifer C. Roig, Ed.D have been a lifesaver in an overwhelming time in our life. When your child does not fit in the cookie cutter mold of life, it is often difficult to find a listening ear, someone who cares, the knowledge and patience to guide you.”
