Athena Academy is a non-profit private school established in 2010, devoted to educating bright children with dyslexia. The school is located on a large campus in Palo Alto, near Stanford University. We serve grades 1-8 in our in-person program and grades 4-8 in our online program. Our approach to teaching dyslexics is based on methods indicated by the latest neuroscience and educational research. We use a blend of teaching methods to accelerate learning for the widest range of dyslexic students. We provide: ? 1 to 6 ratio of teachers to students in the elementary classes and 1 to 9 in the middle school classes. ? A specialized blend of teaching methods: advanced Visual-Spatial methods combined with traditional sequential and phonics-based methods to address the areas of weakness. ? Challenging classes in Advanced Science, Social Studies, History, Art, Technology, and Performing Arts to develop the students strengths and gifts. ? Teachers with excellent backgrounds and talent who receive in-depth training and ongoing professional development to enable them to provide outstanding education for dyslexic learners.

"Today's AI-driven world needs a new kind of intelligence focused on human skills such as complex problem solving, adaptability, resilience, communication and creative thinking. These are skills dyslexics naturally possess but aren't measured by traditional education and workplace tests, which instead focus on dyslexic challenges. Based on this, it concludes the outdated systems that are designed to teach and measure intelligence need a rethink – it’s time for a new school of thought".....
The world has changed and we need to redefine how we think about and measure intelligence. It’s time to shake things up and teach the skills the world needs. We need more innovators, problem-solvers, storytellers and unconventional thinking.?? ? That’s why we’ve launched DyslexicU with Made By Dyslexia. The University of Dyslexic Thinking launched today during the UN General Assembly as a free, online platform hosted on Open University to teach people the world’s most sought-after skills in this new world of work.? ? I've shared all the details on my LinkedIn newsletter below. Enrol today and join this new school of thought! #DyslexicThinking #Dyslexia #Learning
At Athena Academy we talk a lot about our students invisible backpacks. They arrive at school every day with their invisible backpacks filled with emotions, experiences and memories that we know nothing about. If stress behaviors happen our job is to help unpack the backpack, so our kids feel understood, safe, and supported. "See a child differently, you see a different child" ~ Dr. Stuart Shanker
