About Royce

Built for learners. Built for the future. Built for what every child can become.

For over five decades, this school has stood for one simple belief:
When teaching is built around how a student learns, everything changes.

What began in 1970 with eight students in a single hospital wing has grown into the Coastal Empire’s most trusted school, recognized for its highly-trained teachers, small classes, and individualized instruction.

Over the years, the school and the Royce Learning Center worked side by side, both committed to meeting students where they are and helping them discover what they can achieve. Their missions naturally aligned, and ultimately became one shared purpose: to teach students in the way their brains learn best.

Today, that purpose lives on as The Royce School.

The Royce School exists because traditional models don’t work for every learner, and because every child deserves an environment where they feel capable, understood, and supported. Our students are bright, capable learners who need more explicit, structured, or multisensory teaching than what typical classrooms provide. Our teachers are experts in specialized, evidence-based instruction. They begin with understanding each student’s mind; how it processes, how it remembers, how it understands. Instruction is designed from that starting point, creating a learning experience that finally makes sense. 

With full-time schooling, summer programs, and tutoring opportunities, The Royce School is tailored to help students discover what’s possible when learning meets who they are.
