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.
For Principals` Day, we are proud to highlight that The Roig Academy was founded by educators and continues to be led by educators, Mr. Gus and Dr. Jenni Roig.
There is a fundamental difference between administrators who manage a building and those who understand a learner`s cognitive architecture.
When leadership is rooted in pedagogical expertise, the school culture shifts from simple compliance to active engagement.
Educational research in teacher efficacy shows that school leadership directly impacts student achievement. When leaders understand the nuances of evidence-based literacy and language-based learning disabilities, they can better support the teachers who work with our students every day.
This creates an environment where interventions are data-driven, and the student`s emotional needs are prioritized with precision.
At The Roig Academy, Mr. Gus and Dr. Jenni Roig ensure that every decision is informed by current research. We cultivate a space where both staff and students are empowered to grow.

When reading becomes a source of stress, traditional methods often fail. Finding a supportive learning environment for children with dyslexia in Miami requires more than just academic instruction; it requires an approach that protects the learner’s confidence.
Here are a few ways that you can provide anxiety-informed literary support for your students.
A 2023 meta-analysis published in Learning Disabilities: A Contemporary Journal confirms that struggling readers experience significantly higher anxiety than their peers. When a student enters a “fight or flight” state, the brain effectively closes the door to cognitive processing.
At The Roig Academy, we translate this research into daily practice. Recent peer-reviewed findings in Annals of Dyslexia (2024) and The Reading Teacher (2023) emphasize a critical variable in literacy intervention: learner attitude. We do not just address phonics; we address the “”affective filter,”” which is the emotional barrier that prevents learning.
🐾 Leo, our resident therapy dog, acts as a sensory regulator. Unlike a peer or teacher, Leo offers a judgment-free presence, allowing students to:
Practice Oral Reading Fluency: Removing the anxiety of “”cold reads.””
Develop Prosody: Practicing natural expression in a low-stakes environment.
Build Reading Endurance: Shifting the task from a source of frustration to a regulated, positive experience.
Evidence-based literacy isn’t just about repetition; it’s about creating the emotional safety required for the brain to learn.

Are you searching for a school for children with learning differences where joy is treated as a foundational element of success? At The Roig Academy, we believe that academic growth is inextricably linked to social-emotional well-being.
In honor of International Dance Day, our students and staff took a moment to move together. This is more than just a break in the school day. Research in educational neuroscience indicates that rhythmic movement and social synchronization help regulate the nervous system, lower cortisol levels, and foster a sense of belonging within a school community.
By creating a culture where movement is encouraged, we reduce the stress often associated with learning challenges. We do not just learn together; we thrive together. Joy is not an extracurricular activity at our school. It is a vital part of our curriculum.
When the body feels regulated, and the spirit feels light, the brain becomes more receptive to the complex tasks of reading, writing, and critical thinking. We are building a community where every student feels safe enough to be themselves, to move, and to excel.

At The Roig Academy, we know that the best outcomes for students occur when home and school operate as a unified team.
Our PTA gathered today to celebrate the close of a successful school year and to start looking ahead. This is not just a meeting for logistics. It is a vital component of our school ecosystem.
Research into school and family partnerships shows that when parents are active participants in the school community, students demonstrate higher levels of academic motivation and increased social-emotional regulation.
What makes The Roig Academy different is our belief that you are the primary experts on your children. Our parent community is essential in fostering an environment of stability and advocacy. By aligning our goals and planning for the year ahead, we ensure that our students feel the strength of a support system that extends far beyond the classroom walls.
We are building more than just a curriculum. We are building a network where every parent feels heard and every student feels empowered.

“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.”
