    #324 - Revolutionizing Education: Nancy Harvey’s Mission for Neurodiverse Learners

    In the Spring of 2014, Nancy Harvey, M.Ed, made the difficult decision to resign from her position as a traditional 4th-grade teacher. She was convinced that there had to be a better way to teach, especially for those students who learned differently. After much research the answer presented itself; The Harvey Homeschool. At this tutoring center, she was able to create a concierge approach to teaching by devising individual education plans, thereby accommodating the different learning styles of each student. Word spread, praising her work, and her classroom grew and grew until she decided to establish The Harvey Academy in 2018. By becoming a school recognized by the state of Florida, Harvey Academy could now offer all state-funded scholarships. As this private school grew, Nancy and her staff took on the challenging task of pursuing accreditation with the Florida Council of Independent Schools, (FCIS). In the Fall of 2023, they succeeded in attaining this prestigious status. Nancy’s current pursuit is a partnership with Dr. Nora Wall and EduCalc Learning. This endeavor offers online courses designed for students with the diagnosis of dyscalculia or dyslexia. These courses will be offered nationwide to students who attend a school or homeschool situation that cannot accommodate their neuro-diverse learning style. Nancy and Nora look forward to helping as many students as possible who need to be recognized for their atypical ability to learn and not just their diagnostic label. Learn more at TheHarveyAcademy.com. Connect with Nancy on LinkedIn.
