We are on our second year at Preschool at the Heights (PATH), after expensively dropping out of a…read moresimilar morning program that was an awful fit. We are so grateful to have found PATH. The people who run this school are awesome. Director Michelle is competent, positive, and flexible - that's a powerful triad. She somehow knows every kid's name and personality. The music teacher Mr. Gus is a talented performer with the patience of Job, and goes far beyond the usual itsy-bitsy-baby songs in his classes. The class teachers are dedicated and effective (a ton of them are former PATH parents). We've taken to calling the 1-yr-old class teachers "the Dream Team" because they're so good with the toddlers. You really get the impression that the people working there are doing so because they just like being there. Honestly, even the parents are a little different than other morning programs we've been to - it's more laidback and friendly, and there is more a sense of community. The whole vibe of the place has none of the competitive Image-Crafting Perfect-Hair Mom-Shaming I figured came standard at all morning programs. PATH has random family nights throughout the year just for families to come and hang out (instead of the usual semiannual high-pressure fundraiser). The only bad parts - their playground areas aren't as nice as those of some other morning programs, although they are good enough and they're slated for improvements. It's a smaller school, so there are fewer dedicated "specials" teachers. However they still fill a slate of Science, Spanish, and Music specials with lots of art and outside time.

This school was an absolute saving grace for my daughter, who needed a place where she could thrive in a more supportive and personalized environment. The smaller class sizes gave her the attention she needed to stay motivated and excel. The option for online learning also provided the flexibility to manage her schedule effectively while staying focused on her goals. Thanks to the dedicated and caring staff, she was able to graduate six months early! I couldn't be prouder of her accomplishment, and we are so grateful to Basic Knowledge Academy for helping make it happen. Highly recommend this school to anyone looking for a flexible, supportive, and high-quality education!"

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!

We discussed the months we would be living in Atlanta, that I was interested in having them in the summer program, and that my oldest was not currently enrolled in a montessori program (he is only 4). We scheduled a call as I am not currently living in the area. I had to email the director the day of to see if she was still available for a call. Atlanta was on a weather closure but the director never communicated this to me. We rescheduled for a couple days later. The entire phone call consisted of why my children could not attend (we aren't currently enrolled, I could not start that late in the semester, they are not current montessori students etc). All of her reasonings for why my children would not be accepted at Springmont were topics discussed via email. Not only did she waste my time by not cancelling the initial call, she wasted my time with questions that were incorrectly answered via the initial email communication. I would not write a check to this school nor would I trust this director and her unprofessionalism with my children.

We were blown away at how composed, articulate, and kind the students were. Each child did a 20 minutes PowerPoint presentation in front of 50 people with poise and aplomb. The A/V went out during one presentation and the other kids swooped in to the rescue, fixing the problem. Our son was unusual because most kids grew up in the Montessori system where he did not. He thrived from day one and became an ambassador for the school. He would tell the other kids that they did not realize how lucky they were. He spent 3 years at the school and was reading at the level of a sophomore in college when he was in 8th grade. (He didn't know that....the beauty of Montessori is you are never ever bored). He learned how to mediate disagreements, he worked on a farm at the land school, hanging drywall, he ran a school lunch program and blossomed into a confident, poised young man. I cannot say enough good things about this school. I wish that I had gone to Montessori; it is that impressive.
