Able to overcome her own learning challenges and to recognize her potential through strategic learning approaches and the help of excellent tutors, it is her aspiration that the On-Track tutors and coaches provide the same support to individuals and families struggling at any level.

In addition, Ms. Herzberg has been named head of school for Lexis Preparatory School, a K – 8th-grade specialized college-prep school focusing on children with learning differences opening in Scottsdale August 2009. "There is a serious deficiency throughout Maricopa County in educational programs dedicated specifically to children with high cognitive abilities who have been diagnosed with AD/HD and other learning differences," Ms. Herzberg has said. "The opening of Lexis Preparatory School will provide a much needed alternative to those children who require a more individualized education setting in order to reach their potential. I look forward to putting together an exceptional staff of educators who will be dedicated to creating a warm, supportive and challenging educational environment for our students."
