Roberts Academy

Elon University is featuring a variety of photos every month to highlight the exceptional learning, work and activities of students, faculty and staff.

The first Discovering Dyslexia Session will be held Wednesday, Dec. 10, at 6 p.m. in Johnston Hall on Elon University’s campus.

Through a once-in-a-generation investment in North Carolina education by Marjorie and Hal Roberts, the new academy - set to open in Fall 2026 - will be the state's only university-based private school for children with dyslexia.

Assistant Professor Alicia Tate will guide the launch and initial development of the academy, drawing on more than 30 years of experience as a teacher, instructional coach, district administrator, and consultant.
