Center for Students with Learning Differences

Classical education is the best education for all students, even when it is delivered or received in unique ways. Our Center supports students with Specific Learning Disorders through personalized instruction from Special Needs Instructors.

Personalized Instruction for Every Learner

We offer services delivered by a Special Needs Instructor (SNI) to support students who have been diagnosed, or who are seeking diagnosis, with Specific Learning Disorders. We serve students with dyslexia, ADHD, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, and processing deficits.

Our program involves families working closely with an SNI to determine the correct scope of services to support the student and their experience with Scholé Academy. A private course provides fertile soil for academic, spiritual, and personal growth.

Students We Can Help

We can serve students who experience difficulty in any of the following areas.

  • Reading that is inaccurate, slow, or requires much effort
  • Understanding the meaning of what is read
  • Spelling and written expression
  • Grammar, punctuation, or organization in writing
  • Number concepts, number facts, or calculation
  • Mathematical reasoning and problem solving

Questions Parents Ask

No. We serve students who have been diagnosed with a Specific Learning Disorder and students whose families are still seeking a diagnosis. A medical diagnosis is not required to talk with us about accommodations.

Dyslexia, ADHD, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, and processing deficits. If your student struggles with reading, written expression, number concepts, or mathematical reasoning, start with a free consultation and we will tell you honestly whether we can help.

A Special Needs Instructor (SNI) helps parents navigate curricular decisions and supports the student’s academic goals. An SNI works alongside a course instructor but independently: the course instructor remains the authority in the classroom, and parents are the point of contact for any accommodations.

Yes. Many students with learning differences participate fully in our courses with outside support. They are enrolled provisionally: if a course proves not to be a good fit within the first three weeks, the parent or instructor may request a withdrawal for a full refund. See the Student-Parent Handbook for the full policy.

No. Our services are not intended to meet the standards of, or fulfill, any state’s requirements. They are a supplement for parents looking for an alternative to, or an addition to, state services.

The initial consultation is free. After that, intake review, evaluation, and accommodation plans are priced per service, and SNI tutoring and private courses are billed hourly in quarterly packages, with the rate stepping down as hours increase. See Services & Pricing above or the full 2026-2027 pricing document.
