Admissions Process

Our thorough application process ensures each child admitted to the Academy will have the opportunity to find success in our program.

A child with dyslexia may have other learning differences that can distract from the Academy’s focus on teaching children with dyslexia. The admissions committee will consider a child’s dyslexia and other learning differences during the admissions process.

1. Parents/guardians apply online using our student information system, FACTS. Please see the application checklist below for a list of documents you will need to upload via FACTS. (If you would prefer to submit a paper application, please email us at admissions@robertsacademy.org.) There is a $100 non-refundable application fee, which you will submit via FACTS.
2. In the online application, you will be asked to provide the email addresses of your student's current school administrator and teacher. FACTS will email these individuals evaluation forms, which will be sent back to Roberts Academy. 
3. Once the admissions committee has reviewed your child’s completed application, we will contact you to schedule a shadow day if we believe Roberts Academy may be a good fit.
4. During the shadow day, your child will participate in an informal screening assessment that includes age-appropriate diagnostic testing focused on reading, writing, and spelling.
5. Following the shadow day, families of accepted students will receive an offer of enrollment along with a link to complete the enrollment form through FACTS. A $1,000 enrollment fee is required to secure your student's place at Roberts Academy. This fee is applied toward the total cost of tuition.

Selection is based on the child’s inherent capabilities and ability to benefit from the dynamic educational programs of Roberts Academy. If  the admissions committee determines that Roberts Academy is not the right fit for your child, we will provide you with feedback and recommendations for next steps.

Roberts Academy requires a variety of documents, as well as an application fee, to be considered for admission:
