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.

Did you know school buses were not always yellow? 🚌

In 1939, transportation experts gathered to address safety for school buses. 

Our student takes a look back in time to explain how National School Bus Glossy Yellow was chosen out of all the colors.

Connecting with families during Open House set the foundation for our school year. We shared stories, dreams, and goals for the months ahead. When families and teachers come together, students see the power of community. 🍎🏫

In The King of Peanut Butter, Fred loves a Fluffernutter sandwich. So our students made one too! 🥪📚

Reading a story and making something from the story to life and deepens student comprehension. 📖

This National Literacy Month, we’re celebrating reading in and out of the classroom.

Have you tried a Fluffernutter sandwich? 🥪

Introducing our new IB summative project!

Under the transdisciplinary theme “Who We Are,” our students will explore the central idea: People show citizenship through their rights and actions in a community.

Throughout the IB project, students will explore rights, responsibilities, choices, and actions. They will consider how people participate in a community and how their actions affect others.

The project is underway. More to come as students develop their projects and share their learning.

Nursery rhymes are becoming less common in children’s classrooms and homes. 🎶

A recent Education Week article by Elizabeth Heubeck, “Hey Diddle Diddle: What the Decline of Nursery Rhymes Means for Early Literacy,” explores the decline of nursery rhymes and what it may mean for early literacy.

Research published in the Journal of Child Language found that children’s knowledge of nursery rhymes at age 3 was related to later literacy skills.

🏫 At The Roig Academy, you will still hear nursery rhymes in our younger classrooms, where rhythm, repetition, and rhyme are part of how children play with language.

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.”
