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.
In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, we are highlighting actress Zoe Saldaña, whose open discussion about her dyslexia and anxiety brings awareness to the experiences many people navigate in learning and creative environments.
Known for her roles in Avatar, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Lioness, Saldaña, who proudly embraces her Dominican and Puerto Rican roots, has spoken openly about challenging herself to take on roles that push her beyond her comfort zone while embracing the way she learns and works.
When taking on the dialogue-heavy role of Joe in Lioness, Saldaña shared that she wanted to challenge herself while confronting her dyslexia and anxiety. She described creating the tools she needed to meet the challenge and embracing her own unique learning process.
“I like the way I learn, and I like the pace with which I learn my mistakes.”
During Hispanic Heritage Month, celebrating a prominent Hispanic figure such as Zoe Saldaña reminds us that representation matters. Her journey shows that learning differences bring strengths, and with the right environment, individuals thrive at any stage of life.

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.”
