Lindamood-Bell Academy Online–Education Wherever You Are

Jun 7, 2019
 
 

At Lindamood-Bell Academy, we provide an online education that’s right for your family. Our virtual instruction embodies Lindamood-Bell quality in all regards—our school is personal, flexible, and interactive.

 

One student, Noah, takes advantage of Academy to get what his mother calls “the best education of his life” while joining his parents on their global travels.

 

She says, “I believe that LBA offers great value.  For the first time in Noah’s history of schooling, I feel that he is free to learn at his own pace, without judgment.  

 

The remote learning program is wonderful for our family. This week, Noah is studying from the Netherlands and Austria.  The fact that Academy is offered online allows our family to travel, while our son still receives a top-notch education.

 

The Lindamood-Bell Academy team is easily accessible; there is an open line of communication between teachers, staff, and parents. I feel very comfortable picking up the phone to communicate my thoughts, and my questions are always answered quickly and efficiently.”

 

Meet Noah!

 

 

A great solution for many students

✔ Learners Who Need A Flexible Environment

Lindamood-Bell Academy is located where each child needs to learn. Students can attend in person, online, or both. This works well for homeschool families, students who live far from a center, have health challenges, or who will be traveling or moving during the school year. Your child’s schooling will stay on track wherever the world takes them.

 

✔ Students With Challenging Schedules

Academy scheduling is flexible, and students move through the curriculum at their own pace. Students who have careers or other obligations that interfere with traditional school schedules will attend a school that works with their schedule. Breaks for travel, performances, and more are easily incorporated.

 

Lindamood-Bell Academy online offers a unique opportunity for students to thrive.

My Lindamood-Bell Academy Story

-from Cassie, Noah’s mom

 

In my eyes, the Academy just makes sense.  Always before, there was a disconnect between school curriculum and Lindamood-Bell techniques.  Now, in Academy, Lindamood-Bell techniques are used to help understand the academic curriculum. Noah has been able to see how to actually apply the strategies learned at Lindamood-Bell in his academic coursework.  Additionally, integrating Seeing Stars, Visualizing and Verbalizing, and On Cloud Nine into the school year, created a further connection between effective strategies and actual coursework.

 

Our family has been so thrilled with the one-on-one attention of LBA. Noah is supported as he journeys through his academic curriculum.  He is free to go at his own pace, without judgment. There is time to stop and review, and he is not forced to move on until he demonstrates mastery.  Additionally, the LBA team is easily accessible. There is an open line of communication between teachers, staff, and parents. I feel very comfortable picking up the phone to communicate my thoughts, and my questions are always answered quickly and efficiently.

 

We have been able to change and manipulate Noah’s daily work based on his specific needs.  For instance, this year, we decided that he was still weak in his writing, so we decided to implement writing and editing into his curriculum more often.

 

Overall, I believe that LBA offers great value.  Noah is receiving one-on-one instruction from his teachers, and he has a consultant that is carefully following his progress.  For the first time in Noah’s history of schooling, I feel that he is free to learn at his own pace, without judgment. I believe that he is in good hands when he is studying in the center, and the remote learning program is wonderful for our family.  This week, Noah is studying from the Netherlands and Austria. The fact that Academy is offered online allows our family to travel, while still receiving a top-notch education.

 

As a former educator, I know that Noah is receiving the best education of his life.

🎉 40 Years of Changing Lives Through Learning

🧠 2011: Georgetown University researchers publish a study showing changes in the brains of children with dyslexia following reading intervention.

Our next milestone highlights research conducted by Georgetown University's Center for the Study of Learning in collaboration with Lindamood-Bell.

Published in the scientific journal NeuroImage, the study followed children with dyslexia who received eight weeks of instruction using the Seeing Stars® program.

Researchers found significant improvements in reading skills, along with measurable increases in gray matter volume in the brain. Follow-up testing eight weeks later showed that these gains were maintained.

These findings offered encouraging evidence that effective reading instruction can help children with dyslexia improve their reading skills while also supporting changes in the brain.

📖 Our next milestone takes us to 2010, when Nanci Bell published the Symbol Imagery (SI) Test.

This standardized assessment measures a student's ability to visualize the sounds and letters within words, an important skill for reading and spelling.

The SI Test helps educators identify and monitor skills that underlie word recognition, spelling, and reading fluency.

📚 2006: What happens when an entire school district works to improve reading?

In 2006, researchers from Texas A&M University published a study in the American Educational Research Journal examining reading achievement in Colorado’s Pueblo School District 60, where Lindamood-Bell had been working with schools since 1997 to support students at risk of reading difficulties.

They examined reading scores for students in grades 3–5 over several years and found that schools using Lindamood-Bell instruction made significantly greater gains than schools across Colorado. Those gains increased over time, including in Title I schools.

It was encouraging to see these results, especially in a district where so many students needed additional reading support.

🧠 2004: Georgetown University researchers publish an important study on adult dyslexia and Lindamood-Bell instruction.

Led by Dr. Guinevere Eden and published in the scientific journal Neuron, the study used brain imaging to examine changes in adults with dyslexia following eight weeks of intensive Lindamood-Bell instruction.

Researchers found improvements in reading skills along with changes in brain activity, showing that the adult brain can continue to change and develop with reading instruction.

More than 20 years later, these findings continue to offer hope for adults who struggle with reading.
