Aspire Academy is a learning center that helps students who struggle with reading, writing, and spelling. They use the Wilson Orton-Gillingham method that focuses on teaching the five building blocks of reading with a strong phonics emphasis. Their methods help children “crack the code” in a systematic, cumulative, student-paced process. They also teach the IEW Structure and Style program for students who struggle with writing once they’ve achieved grade-level spelling. Aspire Academy consults with homeschool parents who have children who are struggling with reading, spelling and handwriting. They also screen for dyslexia, and they can help you identify why your child may be struggling to read, write and spell.

IAICU wants you to know that private school education can be affordable. A private college education might seem out of reach due to the perceived high tuition costs. But did you know that with grants and other financial aid options, a private school education can actually cost just about the same or even less than a public school?
Students Receive up to $7,500 per School Year The Iowa Tuition Grant offers qualifying Iowa families up to $7,500 per year for four years of attendance at an Iowa private college or university. In other words, if you or your student is considering attending an Iowa private institution, a total of $30,000 of assistance can be available over the course of a four-year degree program. The best part is that this is provided in the form of a grant – not a loan – so it does not need to be paid back. Also, the colleges may match the funds you received through the Iowa Tuition Grant, doubling your award.
