The Roig Academy

We’re the small school with the big heart.
This past year, The Roig Academy celebrated its 24th year serving children and youth in the Miami-Dade community as a private education school. Since its inception, The Roig Academy has been providing an alternative educational milieu for students with a variety of learning strengths and areas of need while preparing them to be lifelong learners of the 21st century. The Roig Academy’s vision was the cumulative product between The Roig Academy’s founding Director Jennifer Roig and the learning community which it serves. In many years, that vision defined The Roig Academy as having a hands-on approach to teaching and learning for families who were seeking the best educational opportunities for their children.
The Roig Academy opened its doors in 2000 with a few dedicated employees, yet it was those impassioned few employees who were guided by the original vision to deliver services unmatched by any other alternative. The drive to provide students with a hands-on and balanced approach to education shaped how all services at The Roig Academy would be delivered and the role of each member within its organization.
Today, The Roig Academy provides educational services to a large population of students with a variety of learning strengths and needs and continues to offer a balanced, best practice approach to education. While The Roig Academy maintains the highest commitment to its vision established at its inception, The Roig Academy’s reach and impact continue to forge new territory beyond that original vision.
Our dedication to providing exceptional educational opportunities in Miami by creating students who are reflective, risk-takers, inquirers and lifelong learners remains our highest priority. However, that dedication extends to the ways in which we work with our stakeholders, collaborate with multidisciplinary services, help our community grow, innovate and evolve into the future as responsible citizens of a global community, as is the goal with all IB World Schools. We celebrate The Roig Academy Academy’s approach to teaching and learning as we nurture student growth in the 21st century.
Dyslexia is an alternative term used to refer to a pattern of learning difficulties characterized by problems with accurate or fluent word recognition, poor decoding, and poor spelling abilities. At The Roig Academy, our private school for dyslexia in Miami, we teach our students to read, comprehend, and write through a structured, sequential, multi-sensory, systematic, alphabet-phonetic approach to instruction. The school for learning differences implements the latest research-based teaching and learning pedagogy to ensure every students’ needs are catered to.
