Fraser Academy _

Vancouver, B.C.

For Students with
Different Learning Styles

Fraser Academy is a
school designed to help
students with dyslexia
and other language-
processing problems.
These are students who
have tried public school
or other general
education independent
schools and have found
they have difficulty in
large classes which are
often taught ro mect the
learning styles of the
general population.

In order to attend Fraser
Academy, 2 student must
meet the admissions
criteria, We require a
psycho-educational .
assessment done by a
certified tester and school
reports from the last
school attended. The
assessment must show
chat the student is indeed
dyslexic or has language-
processing problems that
are closely aligned with
dyslexia.

At Fraser Academy,
teachers use a multi-
sensory approach to
teaching. Instruction is
delivered orally, in writing
and kinesthetically. That
is, the student hears it,
reads it, may talk about it

or may do something
physical to aid the
learning.

Aside from smiall
classroom instruction,
cach student has eighty
minutes a day devoted to
language development.
‘The student works one
on. one with a tutor for
forty minutes learning
phonics, decoding,
writing, reading for word
recognition and reading
for comprchension. Each
student chen has forty
minutes ot independent
work to practise these
lessons.

Our mission is to
prepare students to
function in che
mainstream. Thus, our
students go on to
university, college,
technical instirutes, other
post-secondary
educational institutes and
the work force.
