Every child deserves to be seen.
Personalized Learning That Starts with Your Child
Every child learns differently. At Desha Academy, we identify where your child is, uncover learning gaps, and provide targeted support to help them build stronger skills, confidence and independence.
Our Personalized Learning Programme is at the heart of what we do, providing focused academic support based on your child’s individual learning needs.
Hello, I’m Candace.
Teacher. Founder. Champion for every child.
I’ve spent 25 years teaching children in Trinidad and Tobago’s primary schools. I started The Desha Academy to give children what a busy classroom can’t always offer: someone who takes the time to find out where the difficulty really begins.
Through The Desha Academy and Bold Print Bookshop, I bring together personalized learning, a love of reading and Caribbean stories.
As we begin to grow, I’m adding to my team! Meet our virtual team: Maya, Simone and Clara. They’ll help you find programme information, get answers to general enquiries and explore fun learning activities with your child.
Meet Members of Our Team -Maya, Simone & Clara! 👇🏽
Maya helps parents explore Desha Academy’s Personalized Learning Programme. Through selected Facebook posts and Messenger links, she shares programme information and guides families towards the pre-assessment; the first step in understanding their child’s learning needs.
Simone welcomes parents to Desha Academy on Messenger, answers common questions and helps families find information about our learning programmes and registration. When an enquiry needs personal attention, she guides parents towards Ms. Candace Francis for further assistance.
Clara brings curiosity and fun to primary-school learning through Reading activities, word games and Mathematics challenges for children and parents to explore together. She also supports research and content creation for Desha Academy. All educational content is reviewed and approved by Ms. Francis.
More Ways to Learn, Explore and Grow
Personalized Learning is at the heart of Desha Academy, but learning doesn’t stop at the classroom door.

These experiences include:
