The unique learning atmosphere at URead Academy is not only available because we are fortunate enough to have exceptional educators who truly care, but we are all diverse as instructors and offer a wide-range of teaching styles depending on the needs of our students. We are not driven by an abundance of giving exams, but rather, we strive to create exciting and well-built lesson plans that are individualized to ensure growth and success with every student. While periodic benchmarks allow us to see growth, we also use the outcome of lessons and anecdotal observations that allow us to view the whole picture of the learner. Offering one-on-one instruction or small groups allows parents to choose the best option for their child. Finally, because our private academy is a resource for schools, we can partner with our local educators of our students to ensure we are all working as a team. 

Our Team.

Our team strives to encourage and engage with your children and work interactively to allow your child to excel. We believe each child has to be watered differently, and we love learning the unique characteristics of your children!
