Park Academy

Park Academy is a Portland area private school 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 various electives.
Park Academy is located on South Shore Blvd in Lake Oswego, about ten minutes south of downtown Portland. Park Academy is accredited by the Northwest Accreditation Commission (AdvancED) and is a designated Subscriber School with Pacific Northwest Association of Independent Schools (PNAIS). These organizations provide both program oversight and professional development resources.
My Son graduated from Park Academy and I can’t thank them enough for the educational opportunity they provided him. I also got involved as a school parent and it was a joy to be part of Piper Park’s educational vision.

We moved here from Northern California after looking at several possible private special ed schools for our son (we didn’t just look in the Bay Area– we went all the way to San Antonio and looked at Winston before deciding on Park!) who has dyslexia, dyspraxia, & ADHD. In just one year, our son has made SO much progress. Thanks to dedicated teachers and the Barton program his spelling has improved to the point that we can actually understand what he is communicating in writing and the spelling is pretty close to what it should be. Park’s teachers are so supportive academically and emotionally. I am so thrilled that we made the move. Love the school and the teachers. No regrets.
