Roberts Academy at Mercer University

Admissions

The Roberts Academy offers unique instructional programming designed especially for students diagnosed with dyslexia.

We recognize that students entering the Academy may have been frustrated in a traditional school setting. Their difficulties have prevented them from realizing their full potential, and they have often lost their excitement for learning.

At the Academy, our individualized approach will enable students to feel less anxious, because they will be understood and supported. The Academy’s culture will encourage students to reflect on and embrace their learning preferences and celebrate their talents.

Her confidence has blossomed! She now knows she isn’t dumb, she just learns differently. It’s ok to make mistakes. Her anxiety level is down and she doesn’t cry every morning and evening or stress for weeks about testing.

Knox has made a lot of good friends in his class and comes home and talks about what he did at school. Before, he did not like to talk about school, his classmates and could not remember his classmates names. He is comfortable at Roberts and feels safe there.

Your child was given a superpower, they just need the right key to unlock it. If they had a gift to be a star musician or athlete, you would want to give them the right lessons and support. Give them the school experience that will grow them into the amazing creative thinkers they were created to be.

Roberts Academy is a place where children with dyslexia thrive--most of all because they are given the resources they need, in the way that they need them, tended gently and compassionately in an environment of continuous care, support and celebration. It's not just a school, it is a community--a place where students' boundless potential is encouraged and empowered to be a force for good in the world.
