Lakeview Academy is steadfastly committed to excellence in the personal growth and academic development of today’s student. Guided by this mission, The Keystone Program offers a unique learning opportunity for students with mild language-based learning differences, such as dyslexia.
All Keystone classrooms are designed with our students in mind. From the furniture to sound mitigation to paint colors, all decisions were made in consultation with an occupational therapist to maximize the learning environment for our students.
Auditory and visual inputs are managed through a minimalist approach and lighting is softened. Movement opportunities through flexible seating and engagement are provided to students throughout their day.
- Class sizes maximum of 5-6 students per class
- Reading and writing instruction led by Orton-Gillingham trained educators
- Math instruction led by educators trained in Level 1 Multi-Sensory Math
- Movement curriculum developed and led by occupational therapists
