When Oliver’s previous school wasn’t able to accommodate for his dyslexia, he and his family
knew they had to find a different solution.
Oliver was the very first student at Fusion Academy Miracle Mile when it opened in 2014.
In the one-to-one environment, teachers were able to learn his strengths and weaknesses and teach in a way he understood. They also took on a mentoring role in his life and helped him through tough times.
“Fusion stepped in and took the burden off of me,” said Oliver’s mom, Elizabeth.
“They helped me gain a better understanding of myself,” said Oliver.
He persevered through high school and graduated from Fusion Academy Miracle Mile in May of
2019.
Oliver is now studying business and finance at the University of Arizona.
