ABOUT US:&nbsp;Fraser Academy Association (FA) was founded to serve a vital community need. Since 1982, it has become recognized as a leader in North America by leveling the playing field for students with dyslexia, primarily as an independent school (Fraser Academy). Today, FA has expanded its impact through an Outreach and Training Centre (FAx) reaching across BC, Canada and the world. Leading a pioneering initiative and Campaign to establish Canada’s first Centre for Dyslexia, it is now on an exciting journey to deepen its commitment to the community.&nbsp; We serve a gap in the system where approximately 20% of the student population is under-served by mainstream education.
