The Levy Way
& Levy Academy
Learning designed for you.
Levy Academy is embedded in
The Levy Way.
The Levy Way creates a space where expertise meets advocacy, bringing transformational educators together to challenge systems and create better outcomes for the whole child. Grounded in expertise, empathy, and results, it centers the human experience—honoring the stories, struggles, and strengths of students, families, and educators—while turning data into meaningful progress and demystifying the special education process.
At the heart of The Levy Way is a growing educational collective: a community of families, professionals, and advocates united by a shared commitment to supporting students with diverse learning needs. Through professional development, coaching, and systems-level guidance, The Levy Way moves teams beyond compliance toward impact, translating educational plans into growth, confidence, and opportunity for every student.
The Levy Academy
The Levy Academy offers courses grounded in both lived experience and research-aligned practices, designed to strengthen your educational advocacy work, deepen your professional learning, and create meaningful outcomes for students and families.
Guided by The Levy Way, these courses were developed through the vision and leadership of Christine Levy, M.Ed., Founder, CEO, and Thought Leader, and Stacey Souza, M.Ed., Lead Advocate and Master Advocacy Educator.
Our learning approach blends expertise with empathy, connecting research, real-world practice, and systems thinking to inspire meaningful change for children, families, and educators.
