Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

The Code Academy's mission is to provide all students with access to world-class dyslexia intervention support, regardless of their financial background or school district.

Activities or mission (Part I)

To provide access to dyslexia therapy and literacy education.

  • The Code Academy is determined to provide access to dyslexia intervention support without the financial barrier. Navigating the best academic options for children diagnosed with dyslexia can be challenging, as specialized private schools and tutors can be expensive. In contrast, public schools fail to provide students with the essential foundation to succeed. The Code Academy is fully committed to helping students with literacy challenges receive the education they deserve through scholarships to attend the Dyslexia School of Houston, a private tutoring program focused on decoding dyslexia and related learning challenges.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
