Athena Academy serves students grades 1-8 who are bright dyslexic learners. We teach them how they are meant to learn, and they learn! Dyslexic education that builds confidence for Dyslexic or Twice-Exceptional (2E) children, grades 1-8. Children who feel confident about how they learn do better in school. Athena Academy is dedicated to developing and providing the most effective methods to teach dyslexic children, so they develop their gifts and excel. We serve children in grades 1-8 from Palo Alto and beyond. We will grow to benefit as many children as possible. We base our teaching on current neuroscience research into the dyslexic brain. We stay connected to leading neuroscientists to ID and develop ever-improving teaching methods. The greater mission is to improve the learning process for all dyslexic learners. We research, document, and disseminate teaching strategies that are effective, replicable, and research-based so dyslexic students master and enjoy learning. We share what we develop with the educational community, so our work helps the largest number of dyslexic children.
