Igniting a Passion
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.
Park Academy has earned a reputation in the Portland metropolitan area and throughout the state of Oregon as an exceptional school with excellent teachers and programs that really work.
History
Park Academy is a small non-profit independent school founded by Piper Park, a parent who wanted to give other students the opportunity that her son received by attending a school that addressed his dyslexic challenge. Ms. Park’s dream became a reality when she opened the doors of Park Academy in September 2005.
Mission
Park Academy empowers students with diverse learning challenges to reach their highest potential of giftedness while excelling academically and becoming responsible citizens and community leaders.
