A Private School for Dyslexia Serving Ocean County, NJ
When a child with dyslexia has spent years feeling behind, the right school can change how they see themselves. Anchor Learning Academy is a small private school for students with dyslexia, ADHD, and other learning differences.
Our school is in Holmdel, in Monmouth County, and we welcome families from Ocean County and the surrounding area. We serve students in grades 2 to 12.

What Dyslexia Can Look Like in the Classroom
Dyslexia is a language based learning difference. It has nothing to do with intelligence, and many students with dyslexia are bright, creative thinkers. Reading, spelling, and writing simply take more effort, and a traditional classroom does not always give them the explicit, step by step teaching they need.
Families often tell us about:
- Reading aloud that feels stressful or exhausting
- Spelling that does not stick, even after lots of practice
- Writing that does not match what the student can say out loud
- Avoiding reading, homework, or even school itself
- A child who is capable but has stopped feeling successful
How Anchor Teaches Students With Dyslexia
Anchor combines very small classes with evidence-based literacy instruction. Here is what that looks like:
- Structured literacy taught explicitly and systematically, including the Wilson Reading System
- Wilson-certified teachers working with students in small groups
- 1:1 Wilson Reading available for students who need more intensive support
- Individualized instruction so students work at the level and pace that fits them
- Executive function skills taught alongside academics
- Optional speech and occupational therapy for students who need it
