Horizon Academy is currently enrolling kindergarten students who are at risk for
dyslexia for the 2024-2025 school year. This is the first early intervention program of
this kind in the region.

Horizon Academy is the only school accredited by the Orton-Gillingham Academy in the
western half of the United States. The Orton-Gillingham Approach is the gold standard
for educating individuals with dyslexia.

Established in 1999, Horizon Academy has a 25-year history of working with students with
learning disabilities and has been further focused exclusively on students with a primary
diagnosis of dyslexia for the last decade.

“This program is the next step in our partnership with parents. For parents who don’t want
their children to lose years of their education to a “wait and see” approach, this program
will provide students with the best phonics and phonemic awareness instruction as the
foundation for their future.” -Vicki Asher, Head of School at Horizon Academy

Targeting dyslexia risk in kindergarten-age children will provide proactive intervention
before students experience a sense of failure in learning or internalize beliefs about their
ability to learn. Early intervention is not only a powerful tool for improved student learning
but will also minimize social and emotional issues that can cause significant setbacks for
students with language-based learning disabilities.
