I will forever be grateful to Cumberland Academy of Georgia. My son transferred to Cumberland in…read morehis junior year. I was very apprehensive because change can often be a huge challenge for neurodivergent children. But from the moment you walk inside the school, you feel the warm welcome and see the caring way that the children are treated. Every morning, the owner, Mrs. Scarborough, the principal, and several of the teachers are out front welcoming the children as they walk through the door. At the end of the school day, those same people are out front, ensuring that each child is safely getting into their assigned cars. And the teachers are AMAZING! My son received a great education, exceptional support, as well as valuable lessons in life from teachers whom I felt treated him as if he were their own. One of the best things that I loved was the diversity of students. Because the children all have learning exceptionalities, they all "get each other," so I never received those dreaded phone calls from the school about major meltdowns or bullying. The teachers and in-house counselors are extremely proactive in working directly with the children to resolve their differences, so my son felt safe, secure, and right at home from the first week that he got there. It's a great feeling to go to work and not worry about your child at school, so I was very relieved that he had "found his tribe". Their athletic department is outstanding. And Coach Carlock is amazing! He is patient, encouraging, and a tremendous self-esteem builder for any child that wants to play sports. And the coaching staff ensures that ALL of the children get a chance to participate in sports that they never dreamed they could play. My son participated in track, basketball, bowling, and golf. Two of these sports he had never tried before but became confident in his skills after receiving so much encouragement from all of the coaches. As the parent of a neurodivergent child, I am extremely proud to say that Cumberland Academy of Georgia instilled a level of confidence and self-esteem that I had always hoped for my son to have. The proof that they are an exceptional school is that my son was accepted and is currently attending Morehouse College. Morehouse College is considered one of the country's top elite historically black colleges and universities (HBCU). Parents of neurodivergent kids are often happy just seeing our kids make it through high school, so it was such a tremendous accomplishment that my son could attend such a prestigious school. Cumberland gave him the tools and the confidence to succeed there, and I am happy to say that he has successfully completed his first semester! Thank you Cumberland!
