Founder of Renner Academy
Kristen Renner is a determined entrepreneur and educator who has dedicated her career to helping diverse learners reach their full potential. With a background in public education, Kristen saw the need for radical reform in the way that students with dyslexia and language-based learning differences were being taught.
Kristen started her own business, Happy Camper Learning Services, which provides educational diagnostic services and tutoring to diverse learners. In response to the strain that the Covid-19 pandemic placed on the education system, she later founded a nonprofit school, Renner Academy, Brazos Valley’s only school that specializes in dyslexia and language-based learning differences.
Kristen is passionate about building a bridge between neuroscience, psychology, and education, and ensuring that all children with dyslexia and other learning differences have access to the tools and support they need to be successful.
Her vision for the future is to continue to expand and find new ways to serve the dyslexic population of the Brazos Valley and to inspire others to push through their own barriers to make a positive impact on their little slice of the world.
