Homeroom Teachers will instruct a 3rd, 4th, or 5th grade homeroom in a whole class setting (up to 12 students) and instruct students in small groups (2-4 students) as well, implementing the curricula and programs of the school. Small class sizes allow the teacher at RA to provide highly individualized instruction tailored to the needs of each learner.

The Roberts Academy is an academy for primary students with dyslexia. Building on the notable scholarship of Vanderbilt University’s Peabody College of education and human development, the Roberts Academy’s mission is to provide individualized, scientifically-based instruction to 1st-5th grade students with dyslexia, fostering their strengths and supporting their academic needs. As a transitional school, the Roberts Academy’s vision is to provide students with educational experiences that will create a strong foundation for future academic success in a variety of school settings.
A tiered opening of the Roberts Academy is planned, with the academy operating in existing space at Vanderbilt until construction of a new building on Vanderbilt’s Peabody College campus is complete. The academy opened with 3rd and 4th grades in fall 2024. In fall 2025, we will continue services for existing students with programming for 4th and 5th grades. Pending completion of the construction of the new building, in fall 2026, we will serve 3rd through 5th grades, increasing the number of students served in each grade. In fall 2027, 2nd grade will be added and in fall 2028, 1st grade.
The academy ...will include state-of-the-art classrooms and indoor and outdoor spaces to inspire collaboration, physical activity and community engagement. Enrichment programs within and outside of the school day will be a hallmark of the Roberts Academy, fostering curiosity and confidence in children as students and as leaders.
