Banyan Tree Educational Services

Banyan Tree Compass Academy is a specialized private elementary school in San Diego serving students in grades 2–8 with language-based learning differences. The school provides intensive, targeted intervention for students with dyslexia, auditory processing disorders, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, mild autism, and ADHD. By identifying the root cause of each student's learning challenge and designing instruction to address it directly, Banyan Tree helps students build foundational skills and confidence to progress successfully in their education.

With an average class size of 10 students and a faculty where 90% hold advanced degrees, the school delivers personalized support tailored to each child's needs. The small, structured environment allows teachers to provide the intensive remediation and differentiated instruction that students with learning differences require. Banyan Tree's approach focuses on explicit skill-building in reading, writing, and math, combined with strategies to help students understand and manage their learning profiles.

Founded in 2016, Banyan Tree Compass Academy accepts applications on a rolling basis. The school also offers summer programming to support continued progress. For families seeking a school specifically designed around learning differences rather than a general education setting with add-on support, Banyan Tree provides a specialized alternative aligned with evidence-based intervention practices.
