Welcome to Lexington Academy
Lexington Academy is a private day school for grades 3–6 where curiosity, kindness, and persistence are valued every day. Our program blends core subjects, hands-on projects, and creative exploration to create a full academic experience.
​
With a focus on removing language-based obstacles, we help each student grow as a literate, independent thinker who understands the value of hard work and purposeful perseverance. Supported by a close community, students at Lexington build confidence, develop skills, and discover joy in learning.
Who attends Lexington Academy?
The typical student comes to us after years of academic struggle and failure. Some of our students have been participating in ineffective instruction, while others have had their needs minimized. After years of difficulties, families call us because they are searching for something different.
While each student we serve is unique, all of our students have been diagnosed with a language disorder and/or learning disability, such as dyslexia. New students at Lexington Academy may present as somewhat immature for their age but they do not have significant behavioral or emotional needs. Our students respond well to structure and support, are friendly, and are motivated to learn. Acceptance to Lexington is based on our ability to meet the educational, emotional, and social needs of each student.
Renee LeCain, founder and director of Lexington Academy, LLC, has over 25 years experience in diagnostic evaluations and treatment of students with language and literacy disabilities. She earned her B.S. from Purdue University and M.A. from Northwestern University. After completing Orton-Gillingham training, she received additional training in numerous intervention programs including Feuerstein’s Instrumental Enrichment, Project Read® Written Expression, Precision Teaching, PROMPT, RAVE-O, S.P.I.R.E., and several Lindamood Bell programs. In addition to working with students, Renee works to develop the personalized curriculum for each Lexington Academy student.
Renee is a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist, Certified NH Special Educator and diagnostic reading clinician.
