About Us
School Mission
As the only specialized school for children with dyslexia in the Brazos Valley, Renner Academy takes great pride in maximizing the potential of children with dyslexia and other language-based learning differences.

Core Values
-
Our ultimate goal is to create lifelong learners that are equipped with the skills and tools needed to thrive in our ever-evolving world.
-
Learning is a journey, not a destination.
-
If an approach doesn’t work, we must find a different approach. We must never fault a learner for learning differently than we teach.
-
Renner Academy actively follows and teaches students about the power of having a growth mindset. We highly encourage all teachers, parents, and other humans to read Mindset by Carol Dweck. The video below provides a quick overview:
-
Maslow before Bloom!
-
We are each individually responsible for showing up as the best version of ourselves each day.
-
Attaching negative intent is never helpful. Negative behaviors are usually indicators of areas of need.
-
Each day is a new opportunity to make a positive impact in our little slice of the world.
-
We move as quickly as we can but as slow as we need to to ensure that students are equipped with a solid academic foundation.
