About Dallas Academy
Some of the brightest kids quietly slip through the cracks in a traditional classroom. We built Dallas Academy for them. From grades 1 through 12, we teach students with diagnosed learning differences, including dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, ADD and ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, and memory and processing challenges, in a place where learning differently is simply the norm.
Our teaching is structured, multisensory, and evidence-based, delivered in small classes that cap at 10 in the lower school and never exceed 12 in middle and high school, with a 6:1 student-to-faculty ratio. Our college-preparatory curriculum meets and exceeds Texas requirements, and a full fine arts program with music therapy, performing arts, and visual arts gives every student a place to shine. We are accredited by Cognia.
We also teach the whole child. A school-wide social and emotional learning program, executive-function coaching, an on-site counselor, social skills groups, a speech-language therapist, and a board-certified music therapist all work together so our students grow academically, socially, and emotionally, and graduate ready for college and career.
