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.
Early literacy can transform a child’s future, and Dolly Parton proved it by distributing over 330 million free books to families worldwide. 📖🦋
In 1995, Dolly created the Imagination Library in honor of her father, who never had the opportunity to learn to read. Her mission was simple yet transformative. She wanted to provide children with free, high-quality books from birth to age five to foster an early love for reading. 📚
Today, the Imagination Library reaches more than 3 million children across five countries. 🌎
At The Roig Academy, we share Dolly’s foundational belief that a child’s literacy journey begins long before they enter a classroom. Early stories build language, critical thinking, curiosity, and imagination.
This National Literacy Month, we celebrate her inspiring legacy. Every child deserves access to books, the opportunity to learn, and the foundation to dream big. 📖🦋

What makes human body systems work together? 🫀🫁
Our students answered this question to wrap up their unit under the transdisciplinary theme “Who We Are.”
They researched organs, mapped system interactions, and sculpted 3D organ models using clay. 🧠
The next unit of inquiry moves to the theme “Where We Are in Place and Time.”

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.”
– E.W. Parent
