Many parents know this story all too well: you see your child’s potential, their creativity, curiosity, and clever problem-solving. But school isn’t clicking the way it should. Homework takes longer, reading and writing feels effortful, and confidence starts to fade.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. One in five children has a learning difference and simply learns differently. Fraser Academy, a Grade 2–12 day school in Vancouver’s Kitsilano neighbourhood, specializes in supporting students with dyslexia and other language-based learning differences. Through targeted instruction, small class sizes, and an evidence-based approach, Fraser Academy helps students rediscover confidence and achieve success in learning.
Over 95% of Fraser Academy graduates are accepted into post-secondary programs, going on to study in fields like engineering, creative arts, healthcare, technology, and law.
Fraser Academy provides a personalized approach that helps students with learning differences gain confidence, succeed academically and build lifelong skills. Its success stems from its commitment to teaching the curriculum in a way that works for dyslexic learners. The foundation is the evidence-based Orton-Gillingham (OG) approach, a structured, multi-sensory method designed to break down complex language concepts into small, understandable steps.
Fraser Academy also ensures that students have the following benefits:
Misconceptions about dyslexia often paint it as a limitation, but Fraser Academy flips this narrative, showing students and families that dyslexia can be a tremendous gift. Students with dyslexia are often creative problem-solvers, big-picture thinkers, and natural innovators. With the right support, these traits can become superpowers in both education and life.
Families are invited to attend Fraser Academy’s upcoming events to learn firsthand what makes this school so transformative. Parents can meet the Head of School and expert faculty, learn how Fraser Academy tailors its teaching to meet each child’s individual needs, and understand the admissions process and how to access tuition relief of up to 70%.
