About Elevate Academy Network

Elevate Academy is a public charter school network dedicated to reconnecting students to school, community, and future. We serve students who have not always found success in traditional educational settings by creating a personalized, hands‑on learning environment that blends rigorous academics, career and technical education (CTE), and strong character development.

Our schools are built on the pillars of relationships, relevance, and rigor, ensuring every student finds purpose, belonging, and opportunity. At Elevate, we believe all students can succeed when they are known, challenged, and supported by educators who care deeply about their growth and potential.

Vision of Excellence The Dyslexia Trainer supports students with dyslexia and related neurodivergences by delivering a structured, evidence‑based intervention program with fidelity. It requires consistent progress monitoring, and strong collaboration with teachers, leaders, and families. The Dyslexia Trainer is expected to embody the network's culture values by maintaining high expectations and consistent accountability; building professional, trust‑based relationships with students, staff, and families; and demonstrating deep efficacy—the belief that students can grow and that adults can create the conditions for that growth to happen.
