A proven model for teaching children with dyslexia to read at Vanderbilt, Mercer, Florida Southern … and now Elon.
Roberts Academy at Elon University is one of four university-based, all-day schools that teach children with dyslexia to read. On every campus, the results are the same: children learn to read and return to their home schools after 2-3 years ready to succeed.
This all-day proven model is now available in North Carolina, backed by the Dr. Jo Watts Williams School of Education and the full resources of Elon University.

Backed by Elon University
When a university puts its name behind a school, your child gets more than a program.
Elon University President Connie Ledoux Book announces the creation of Roberts Academy, made possible by Marjorie and Hal Roberts, who have already built three successful academies at other universities. Your child gets faculty research informing instruction, university accountability behind every decision, and future educators learning the same methods used in your child’s classroom.
