History
In 2005, given the lack of suitable options for students with dyslexia, Park Academy was established to fill a rising community need. Founder Piper Park has been an inspiration in igniting a passion that has spread remarkably. Now, students travel many miles to attend a school that understands their learning differences and discovers their true capabilities.
