CHOOSING THE RIGHT SCHOOL FOR YOUR CHILD IS IMPORTANT
Finding the best school for your child is all about the “right fit,” especially when your child has special needs. You will find that each school is unique so finding that school may take some time. Your child’s success and well-being are #1. We hope that your child feels at home with the school, and you, as parents, believe you have chosen the best possible school for your child.
During the appointment, you will spend time with our Admissions Director discussing the needs of your child and learning all about what we do at Cumberland. You will also tour the school, walk into classrooms and see first-hand how our teachers and students interact. If a parent believes Cumberland might be the right fit for their child, the next step is to collect background documents and schedule a shadow day by calling 404-835-9000 or emailing admissions@cumberlandacademy.org.

If you have a special needs child, Cumberland Academy is one of the best schools in Georgia. The classrooms are spacious and the student teacher ratio is wonderful. The majority of the children have IEP’s, but you cannot tell from the curriculum, standards, expectations and the passion that the educators provide. From day one, they exceeded our expectations things that my son wasn’t able to do, or had never been introduced to, he was not only learning it, but was excelling as well. We love the warm environment and from the moment you enter the building you feel welcome. I love all of courses and extracurricular activities that the children have access to. I was shocked when I saw that they had cooking classes, and not just mediocre, Im talking about a real kitchen where life skills can be learned. Our son had the opportunity to participate in bowling and basketball on a weekly basis, it really helped him socially. He also enjoyed being apart of a family where he truly fit in.
