Letter from Chris Pomar
Greetings Swift Community,
Thank you for taking the time to read this issue of The Swift Effect. The magazine chronicles the highlights of a Swift School education and the ways our school lives its mission – to prepare students with dyslexia and related language-based learning differences to be successful in life.
Swift School’s mission is fueled by the power of The Swift Effect® , a transformative, immersive, and positive phenomenon.
At Swift School, a life-changing transformative journey begins as students begin to trust the journey and discover how they learn best. Their confidence soars, and they embrace their strengths and decode their weaknesses.
We pride ourselves on having an immersive learning environment filled with expert faculty who use evidence-based techniques to instruct students with dyslexia. In such a setting, Swift maximizes the learning potential of every student.
The Swift Effect® is evident the minute you arrive on campus. The positive energy flows throughout our school. Students are smiling, engaged, and actively focused on learning. The Swift Effect®, as you know, is not magic, and yet it is magical.
Within these pages, you will read about campus highlights of the past year. You will be introduced to a new school-wide occupational therapy approach, meet three of our world-class faculty members – Ms. Julie Eden, Ms. Natalie Felix, and Mr. Michael Lytle – and read heartwarming success stories from Katie and Katina.
Throughout the magazine, you will see several QR codes. They allow you to watch an emotional tribute to Swift School from a recent alumna, view upcoming Swift Institute courses, or make a pledge to the Swift Fund, which benefits current and future Swift School students. I urge you to explore all the magazine has to offer.
In this post-pandemic era when face-to-face conversation is a more frequent and welcome occurrence, we have happily welcomed many alumni to campus in the last few months. If you have a story of how Swift School changed your life or know a family that would benefit from a Swift education, I would love to hear from you.
With gratitude for your appreciation of Swift and all best wishes,
