Mission Statement

ARK Institute of Learning exists to diminish the impact of learning disorders in the lives of individuals. In our history, we have assisted hundreds of students with a variety of learning challenges including; dyslexia, language disorder, nonverbal learning disorder/visual-spatial processing disorder, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, specific learning disorder or disability, and attention issues. We also assist students who have no formal diagnosis but who would benefit from interventions in reading, written communication, math, oral and reading comprehension, and/or handwriting.

About This Cause

If you are determined to learn, no one can stop you. ARK Institute of Learning is a non-profit committed to supporting determined learners in their desire to overcome learning challenges. At ARK Institute of Learning, we believe the courage to continue comes from knowing that you have necessary skills to carry on in the face of adversity. People with learning challenges can be frustrated because they lack these skills that sometimes come naturally to other people. ARK Institute of Learning is here to provide students with customized toolkits for achieving learning success in and out of the classroom. Individuals with learning difficulties can learn; they just learn differently. ARK unlocks learning difficulties with a two-step process. ARK Evaluation - ARK provides individualized assessments to all students who have not received a recent educational evaluation. In some cases, ARK supplements existing assessment data to complete the learning profile. Assessments guide our instruction by providing the basis for a thorough and individualized strategic plan for achieving future learning and academic success. Instruction and Support - Individualized instruction is designed to build and apply the skills and strategies to unlock learning. Goals are based on the results of the assessment and the academic expectations presented to the student. Instruction is scheduled in sets of 12, one-hour sessions. Upon completion of each set a Progress Report is presented. Recommendations are made to determine next steps. To help support a student’s success throughout the process ARK instructors can schedule conferences with teachers. This type of collaboration supports the student as they move through their individual instruction plan. It ensures that ARK instructors, teachers, and parents are all working in unison to support learning success. We are not tutors. We are not here to teach students how to memorize rote facts. We are not here to teach students how to conform to the current standards issued by their school. We are here to breakdown the causes of learning frustration. We are here to assess, diagnose and provide a lifetime of skills for overcoming learning challenges.
