An Effective Solution for Your Student's Reading and Writing Challenges

Whether you are a seasoned educator, or are new to the idea of teaching your child in the home, Verticy Learning Academy is your partner every step of the way. With the combined experience of two proven academic organizations, you can be confident that Verticy Learning delivers an effective, comprehensive educational experience.

Since 1973, Jemicy School has educated bright, college-bound students who struggle to reach their full potential in traditional academic programs. Jemicy School's experience educating students with LLDs has lead them to empower hundreds of students to realize their intellectual and social potential. Jemicy's highly trained, experienced faculty is proficient in various multi-sensory learning methods that have been proven in their classrooms year after year. These methods are highly successful in helping students with dyslexia and other LLDs learn how to read, write, and spell, despite their learning differences. Not only do they teach foundational skills in the way that works best for students with LLDs, they also establish a stable educational framework to help these students lead a confident and successful academic life. Jemicy continues to dedicate itself to this belief at their day school and through the efforts of Verticy Learning Academy.

Jemicy School partnered with Calvert School in 2006 to create Verticy Learning, the first comprehensive home school curriculum that addresses the needs of children with LLDs. Since 1906, Calvert School has inspired children to reach their full academic potential by helping parents deliver an expert education in the home environment. Calvert combines time-tested curriculum materials with high-quality, innovative computer-based technology to educate students in a 21st century learning environment. The detailed, step-by-step daily lessons are based on the curriculum taught at its private day school in Baltimore, Maryland.

"My son learned! He even noticed it and was thrilled to see the dramatic improvement on his post-test results. It has been an exciting, successful and rewarding year of learning. Thank you for all your efforts in preparing the curriculum." - Diana, Finksburg, MD

What Makes Verticy Learning Unique?

Verticy Learning Academy presents a comprehensive educational program that addresses the specific language arts needs of these students while keeping them on academic pace with their peers in all subject areas. We employ instructional methods and technology tools that help students overcome their reading challenges and gain confidence in their ability to learn.

Verticy Learning's approach involves four critical components:

1). Address the specific needs of students with LLDs using specialized techniques and technology

2.) Speak with a variety of instructional "voices"

Instruction is delivered in the home by a Learning Guide, most often a parent. However, the student benefits from a variety of instructional voices. Some lessons are delivered through rich, multimedia, web-based content such as instructional videos, game-based math supplements, and literature selections which are "read" by an online tool. In addition, Verticy's Education Counselors reinforce the instruction delivered in the home and support the Learning Guide as needed with advice, answers, or assistance. Parents also have the option of engaging the support of a Verticy Advisory Teacher or Verticy Live Tutor. These learning professionals provide feedback, analysis, and encouragement through highly personalized interactions with your student.

3.) Meet students where they are academically

4.) Support self-pacing among subjects

Students enrolled in Verticy Learning Academy enjoy the benefit of self-pacing. Verticy's one-on-one instructional setting allows the student and Learning Guide to accelerate the learning pace in certain areas and to focus more attention on subjects or lessons requiring additional review or remediation.
