The things families ask us most.

Yes. Students enrolled at Cupertino Academy must be registered as homeschool students in the State of Georgia while attending the academy. You continue guiding math, science, history, and electives at home, while Cupertino Academy provides the daily, evidence-based literacy instruction. Families remain responsible for meeting Georgia homeschool requirements outside of our daily programming. Learn more about Georgia homeschool requirements here.

Families come to us in two ways. Some homeschool long-term and use us for literacy support. Others enroll for a focused season of intervention and then transition their child back into public or private school. In both cases, children are registered as Georgia homeschool students while enrolled.

Yes, and for many families that is the goal. Children attend for a season of intensive literacy instruction and then return to a traditional classroom with stronger skills, more confidence, and greater independence. This is about the path a family chooses, not a particular pod — Foundations, Bridge, and Launch are stages of literacy instruction, not exit programs.

A formal diagnosis is helpful but not required to start a conversation with us. Reach out and we'll help you understand your child's needs and whether we're the right fit.

We serve children in roughly first through eighth grade. Students are grouped into Pods — Foundations, Bridge, and Launch — based on literacy ability and assessment rather than age or grade, each with a 1:4 ratio.

We use Structured Literacy rooted in Orton-Gillingham principles and aligned with the Science of Reading — explicit, sequential, multisensory instruction in reading, spelling, writing, language, and comprehension.

A daily two-hour block of focused instruction in a small class of no more than four children (a 1:4 ratio): a warm welcome, explicit multisensory lessons, and guided practice.

With consistent, evidence-based instruction, children with dyslexia make real, cumulative progress. We can't promise a timeline for any individual child, but the right approach — delivered daily — is exactly what makes lasting growth possible.

Yes. Dyslexia affects how a child learns to read — not their intelligence or their potential. Many bright, capable children simply need to be taught in the way their brains learn best.
