College at Cumberland Announces Strategic Partnership with Landmark College to Bring Neurodiverse College Program to the Atlanta Area

Atlanta, GA — July 7th, 2025 — Cumberland Academy of Georgia, parent organization of College at Cumberland,  is proud to announce the launch of a new partnership as part of a continual strategy for innovation in the neurodiverse community. This innovative partnership is created with Landmark College, the nation’s premier institution for students with learning differences such as dyslexia, ADHD, autism, and executive function challenges.

For College at Cumberland, this partnership marks a transformative step forward for postsecondary education in the Southeast by bringing a dedicated, neurodiversity-focused college experience to the Atlanta metropolitan area. College at Cumberland will offer an inclusive and supportive environment where students who learn differently can thrive academically, socially, and personally. Accepted students will be able to take accredited college courses for up to two years, where they will be able to earn an Associate’s degree. The goal is for students to be able to move on to a four-year college program after their time at College at Cumberland.

“We are thrilled to partner with Landmark College, a true leader in the field of neurodiverse education,” said Debbi Scarborough, Founder & Head of School at Cumberland Academy of Georgia. “Together, we are reimagining what higher education can look like by empowering students to reach their full potential in a setting built specifically for their strengths and needs.”

The program will combine Landmark College’s proven curriculum and expertise with the strong foundation and individualized support already established at College at Cumberland.  In addition to the core curriculum, we offer life skills development, career readiness training, and social-emotional support — all designed to promote student success both in and beyond the classroom. 

Accredited classes are scheduled to begin in Fall 2025, with applications for the inaugural cohort open now. The program is ideal for students seeking a college experience that provides both academic rigor and the support necessary for long-term achievement and independence.
