Every child has a story worth celebrating

At Roberts Academy, transformation happens every day. What begins as hesitation and uncertainty becomes curiosity, pride, and a renewed love of learning. Our students discover that reading can open new worlds — and that they are capable of far more than they ever imagined.

Many arrive after years of frustration, where effort didn’t seem to match progress. Here, they find a community that understands how they learn best and believes deeply in their potential. Through evidence-based instruction, caring mentorship, and family partnership, each child’s story begins to change — page by page, day by day.

From Frustration to Confidence

What happens when a child finally feels understood, supported, and encouraged to learn in the way that works best for them? At the Roberts Academy, that’s where transformation begins. Every day, students who once felt anxious or defeated start to experience the excitement of discovery and the pride of accomplishment.

Through personalized instruction grounded in the Orton–Gillingham approach, our teachers meet each child where they are — patiently building skills, confidence, and a love of reading that extends beyond the classroom. Families become partners in this process, celebrating progress together and seeing their children light up with the joy of learning.

It’s a journey that changes more than grades or report cards. It changes how children see themselves — as capable, curious, and ready to take on the world with confidence.

Before coming here, our daughter cried at homework time. She felt like school wasn’t for her. Now she wakes up excited to go. She reads to her little brother and tells us she’s going to be a teacher one day.

Teachers Who Make a Difference

Guided by expertise, inspired by care

Our teachers are the heart of these success stories. With specialized training and endless patience, they create a classroom where progress is visible and every child feels capable.

Each success builds momentum and self-belief.

Each milestone reminds students that they are more than their challenges, they are learners, leaders, and creators.

From Hiding to Helping

What happens when a child not only learns to read, but begins to see themselves as capable and confident? At the Roberts Academy, that kind of transformation happens every day. Students who once felt invisible or hesitant to participate begin to raise their hands, share their voices, and take pride in their progress.

Through patient guidance and evidence-based instruction, our teachers create a learning environment where mistakes are part of growth and success is celebrated. Step by step, reading becomes a source of strength — a doorway to curiosity, imagination, and independence.

As confidence grows, students start to see themselves differently. They discover they have something to offer, that they can help others, and that learning isn’t something to fear — it’s something to love.

I used to hide when the teacher asked for volunteers to read. Now I help my friends when they get stuck. I’m proud of myself.
