CAREERS

The dyslexic child may have difficulty with spelling but shows great imagination. They can be described as a slow reader but fast thinker. If your child is struggling with reading apply now to see if LKA is a good fit for your child.

Our Admission Process

The admission process begins with a screening of all application materials. The admissions team then assesses if the student is at risk for dyslexia and if so, the student will be tested to verify dyslexia. If the applicant is found to be dyslexic by the admissions team, then the student is accepted into LKA or placed on a waitlist for when a spot becomes available.
