School Notes
- School Mascot: Raven
- Co-founded in 2000 by Dr. Jennifer C. Roig, Ed.D., and Gus Roig, The Roig Academy is Miami's only International Baccalaureate World Day School designed specifically for students in Kindergarten through 8th grade who learn differently, including those with dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, and ADD. Our ROIG approach (Reflect, Observe, Inquire, and Grow) guides students to take ownership of their learning, while teachers use differentiated, multisensory instruction to meet each child where they are.
- Reading instruction follows a Structured Literacy approach, guided by the Science of Reading - a research-based, multisensory approach integrated with the IB Primary Years Programme's (PYP) inquiry-based framework to build both strong literacy skills and global, critical thinking. With a student-to-faculty ratio that averages 1:7 to 1:10, and class sizes ranging from one-on-one instruction to no more than ten students, our teachers deliver a truly individualized education.
- The Roig Academy is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS)/Cognia, approved by the Florida Department of Education as a private special education school, and is a member of the International Dyslexia Association and the National Association for Bilingual Education. Students also benefit from a supportive, whole-child environment and go on to transition successfully into Miami-Dade's college preparatory high schools.
