Dyslexia School Admissions Process

Admissions Process

A Clear Path Forward

Individualized From the Start

Every step centers on understanding your child’s learning profile, strengths, and challenges, so we can determine program fit.

Built for Students with Dyslexia

Unlike traditional schools, we’ve designed our entire environment for students with language-based learning disabilities, including our curriculum, teaching methods, and support systems.

Thoughtful, Not Rushed

Our process is intentional and efficient, providing families with timely answers while giving each student careful, individualized consideration.

Collaborative & Transparent

Horizon Academy partners closely with families, reviewing diagnoses, answering questions, and ensuring you feel confident and informed throughout the process.

Guiding You Through the Process

From your first inquiry to final decision, our dyslexia school admissions process is simple, supportive, and informative. You gain insight into your child’s learning profile and discover how our individualized approach can help them thrive academically.

Student Visit & Screening

Your child visits our campus, meets the staff, and completes a brief academic screening. During this time, parents are provided an in-person tour. If you’re enrolling in tutoring, no in-person screening or tour is required.
