Roberts Academy at Elon University

08/20/2026

🎒📓🖍️ We couldn't have asked for a better first day of our very first year for our wonderful students and families. In the words of one parent following morning drop-off: “What amazed me is we were walking into the parking lot, and we walked up, and she didn’t look back. That made me feel really good that she didn’t look back as she walked off because I think she knows that she is going to be OK.”

An open house for faculty and staff on Monday afternoon offered a preview of all the learning and fun that awaits our first Roberts Academy students who will fill these classrooms and hallways starting Tuesday morning!

Maybe you've been following us for weeks. Maybe you've visited the website a few times. Maybe you've started the prospective student form and stopped halfway through.

We see you. And we understand.

This is a big decision. It means changing schools. It means trusting a new approach. It means believing that this time, things can be different for your child.

If you have questions, ask them. If you need a conversation, we're here. If you need someone to walk you through financial aid, we'll go line by line. We’re here for YOU.

Tell us about your child at the link in our bio.

Parents in our network describe similar versions of the same story.

It's the moment their child picks up a book voluntarily or sounds out a word on a street sign from the back seat of the car. Sometimes it’s when their child reads a bedtime story to a younger sibling instead of being read to.

It doesn't happen right away. It builds. Lesson by lesson, sound by sound, pattern by pattern. And then one day, something clicks and reading isn't a battle anymore. It's just... reading.

For some children, it takes months. For others, it takes a little longer. But when it happens, parents say the same thing: "I knew this was different. I knew we'd found the right place."

That moment is waiting for your child at Roberts Academy.

We get hear from families every week. Here are a few recent ones:

"Are spots still available for fall?"
"My child is in 2nd grade. Can we get on a list for next year?"
"Do you offer transportation?"
"What if my child doesn't have a formal diagnosis yet?"
"Can I tour the campus?"

Every question is a good question. We'd rather you ask than wonder. Give us a call or email, or visit the link in our bio to learn more!

Wondering if your child is eligible for Roberts Academy?

Children may be a great fit if:
1. They're entering grade 3 or 4 this fall.
2. They have dyslexia or show signs of reading differently.
3. They're bright and motivated but reading hasn't yet clicked.
4. They've been receiving reading support that hasn't produced the progress you expected.
5. They love learning but dread reading.

Sound familiar? Our interest form takes five minutes to complete. We'll take it from there.

You can almost hear the laughter and excitement that comes during those “a-ha!” moments where a young person is proud of learning something new. Two more months until we open - and we want to start that conversation with you if the Roberts Academy might be the solution to helping your child with dyslexia learn to read!
