Absolutely. IA Academy was specifically established to support learners with ADHD, ADD, Dyslexia, and slow learning. Our teachers are experienced in adapted teaching strategies, and our entire school environment — from class size to timetable design — is built with these learners in mind.

With a maximum of 10 students per grade, our teachers are able to spend meaningful individual time with each learner every day — adapting their approach, pacing, and explanations to each child's unique needs.

Our teachers are trained in learning support approaches. For additional specialist assessment or therapy, we maintain a network of trusted external educational psychologists and therapists in Windhoek whom we can refer families to.

We believe in ongoing, open communication. You can expect regular progress conversations, formal reports, and direct access to your child's teacher. We do not leave concerns until the end of term.

We actively collaborate with external therapists (occupational therapy, speech therapy, remedial teaching) to ensure a consistent approach between school and therapy environments. We can also provide progress reports to support your child's therapy journey.
