Park Academy

Park Academy is a small non-profit private 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. 

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.

Park Academy is the only private school in the greater Portland area and the state of Oregon that serves students with dyslexia and other language learning differences in grades 3-12. Structured, sequential, simultaneous, multi-sensory teaching approaches, such as the Barton Reading & Spelling System, help students develop fundamental academic skills. The Academy offers a low student-to-teacher ratio with a complete range of core academic classes plus Theater, Spanish, American Sign Language, Visual Arts, Yearbook, Music, and Physical Education. Students come from all over the Portland metropolitan area and represent a variety of abilities, skills, and learning styles.
