Interested community members can learn more about dyslexia and the Roberts Academy at Elon University through the next Discovering Dyslexia session on Jan. 27.
Leaders of the Roberts Academy at Elon University will provide information about the new transitional school serving students with dyslexia in the next “Exploring Dyslexia” (formerly “Discovering Dyslexia”) session on Jan. 27 at 6 p.m. in Johnston Hall.
The Roberts Academy at Elon University, will be North Carolina’s only university-based private school for children with dyslexia. The school will initially welcome third and fourth grade students in a temporary location on West Trollinger Avenue in Elon, N.C., before expanding capacity to grades one through six in a state-of-the-art facility planned for East Haggard Avenue set to open in Fall 2028.
The Roberts Academy at Elon University will be a transitional school intended for two-to-three years of instruction before children return to their community schools equipped to succeed as future scholars, entrepreneurs and civic leaders. The new school is made possible through the generosity of Hal and Marjorie Roberts of Lakeland, Florida. The Roberts Academy at Elon University will be the fourth private school established by the couple to assist children with dyslexia.
The first event was held on Dec. 10 and offered an opportunity for community members to learn from Roberts Academy administrators and hear from a parent of a child with dyslexia.
“This series, Discovering Dyslexia, will become a regular touchpoint for our community as we move forward in our implementation plan. Each session will bring new updates, deeper insights and continued transparency about the work ahead,” said Alicia Tate, acting director of the Roberts Academy and assistant professor in the Dr. Jo Watts Williams School of Education, who opened the program.
