The Roig Academy recently had the honor of welcoming David Lawrence Jr. to our campus to experience the heart of our school community and discover what makes The Roig Academy unique.
David took time to meet and chat with our faculty and students, gaining a firsthand look at the work and mission that drive us every day. Of course, our therapy dog, Leo, proudly led the way throughout the tour.
David Lawrence Jr. is the former publisher of The Miami Herald and the Detroit Free Press, and one of Florida’s most dedicated champions for children.
He was a primary leader in passing Florida’s statewide VPK amendment, is the Founding Chair of the Early Learning Coalition of Miami-Dade and Monroe, the Founding Board Chair of The Children’s Trust, and the Chair of The Children’s Movement of Florida.
His decades of advocacy have fundamentally shaped how our state invests in its youngest citizens.
We are so grateful for his time and a career devoted to educational equity for all children.

As part of the IB World Cardboard Regatta, students learned about different parts of South Florida and the specific cultures and histories of certain countries.
Our team focused their inquiry on the Miami River and Early Trading Routes and the culture and history of the Bahamas. 🇧🇸
This IB summative project at The Roig Academy encourages students from grades K-8 to work together in teams. This event reflects inquiry in action. Research becomes design. Design becomes engineering. Engineering becomes teamwork, perseverance, and leadership on the water.
This is learning through doing.
This is the IB Exhibition in action.
This is the Roig Academy Regatta.

Our Parent Book Club recently explored “Theo of Golden,” a novel that offered a refreshing change of pace from our usual focus on research and education.
By following Theo’s quiet journey of observing and meeting others, we engaged in a rich discussion about memory and kindness.
The story beautifully mirrored IB Learner Profile attributes, encouraging us all to be more reflective and caring as we consider the small moments that shape our lives.
Thank you to everyone who joined this insightful conversation. 📖📚

At The Roig Academy, art is more than a subject because it is a vital pathway to literacy and comprehension.
During World Art Day, we celebrate how our Ravens use artistic expression to enhance their IB summative projects and daily HOP time activities. This approach to education honors the unique way our students see the world.
We wish our entire community a Happy World Art Day! 🎨

Research supports that literacy is an embodied, multimodal process.
By moving outdoors, we provide a ‘material starting place’ where sensory engagement facilitates a transition from task resistance to authentic student agency. It’s not just a change of scenery.
It’s a strategic expansion of the learning environment.

Happy National Siblings Day! Today we celebrate the incredible bonds that make our school community even stronger. Our students with siblings at our school share more than a last name; they share classrooms, hallways, friendships, and memories that will last a lifetime. It is a joy to watch them grow, learn, and support one another each day.
At our school, family truly matters. We are grateful to the families who entrust us with each member of their crew and allow us to be part of their journey. Here’s to the brothers and sisters who learn, laugh, and succeed side by side, inspiring us all along the way.

Signature School Events
“Ourselves” Art Installation
As we explore one of the IB Transdisciplinary Themes “How We Express Ourselves,” students are inquiring into ways to express their feelings, ideas, values, and beliefs in ways that demonstrate their appreciation for the world around them.
Students were encouraged to reflect and represent a pose which best represents their uniqueness and individuality. Poses depict a wide range of self-expression and nonverbal communication. The vibrant colors communicate a variety of moods, emotions, and feelings, all of which help our students understand themselves, and appreciate others.
The World Cardboard Regatta
The World Cardboard Regatta project is the culmination of our students’ work. We have been able to bring life and meaning to many aspects of History, Geography, Science.
While in their groups, students have engaged in the inquiry process in order to explore, research and report on their individualized summative projects. We have facilitated opportunities for students to come together in mixed grade levels to, share their ideas, conclusions, and problem solve for The Roig Academy World Cardboard Regatta.
Our Sky of Gratitude
The Roig Academy students have replicated the Luxembourg Swings Art Installation to bring that sense of happiness to our school on this Thanksgiving Celebration. This art installation also includes a message of gratitude through a painting or poem.
The importance of showing gratitude comes from the actual definition of gratitude. It is an affirmation of goodness. We affirm that there are good things in the world, gift, and benefits we’ve received. When we look at life as a whole, gratitude encourages us to identify some goodness in our life.
“Jenni set forth realistic goals for our boys and monitored their progress from beginning to end.”
