Testimonials

What Parents are Saying

“In public school, I was told my son would never speak or read. Within his first few weeks with his amazing teachers at Language and Literacy Academy, he started speaking and shortly after he began reading! They truly understand him and how to reach him.”

“My daughter goes to this school and has done leaps and bounds. She is striving to success with the help of the staff and the administration.”

“I am so appreciative of being part of such an amazing environment. In two months of [my son] attending this school I have noticed the change and the glow in him. You guys are like a gift from god. Please continue to be extraordinary! I am so happy [he] is in this school!”
