Mission Statement

Camperdown Academy enables bright dyslexic students to achieve their maximum academic potential and provides educational outreach to help the community engage the full talents of dyslexic students and adults.

About This Cause

Camperdown Academy is a school of need, not of choice. The school was founded in 1986 by a group of parents in upstate South Carolina concerned about the lack of educational opportunities for their bright dyslexic children. Camperdown Academy is for students in grades 1-8 with language based learning disabilities, with a specialization in teaching those with dyslexia. Almost 99% of students served by the school graduate from high school because of the assistance they received at Camperdown. This is significantly above average for those with special needs. Many students receive financial aid to help offset the cost. All Camperdown teachers receive Orton-Gillingham training, which improves outcomes for students with dyslexia. Camperdown is one of only nine schools in the entire country accredited by the Orton-Gillingham Academy as both a training and teaching institution. In 2015, the school was recognized as one of the 50 Best Private Schools for Special Needs by the Masters in Special Education Program Guide.
