Global Curriculum, Specialized Approach: The IB Choice for Students with Dyslexia

At The Roig Academy, we offer an unparalleled educational journey for our students. Our unique approach combines evidence-based practices such as the school-wide implementation of the Orton-Gillingham approach couples with the International Baccalaureate Primary YEars Program (IB PYP) program, creating an unmatched educational experience. With over 50 years of excellence, the IB PYP provides holistic development, inquiry-based learning, and a global perspective.

The Roig is proud to be a private IB school in Miami that also specifically functions as a school for ADD, dyslexia, and other learning differences that might make success in a traditional classroom difficult.
