TheAtlanta Speech School provides an unmatched opportunity to learn from both peers and experts in the field and to contribute to the Schools growing body of knowledge. Beyond seeking proficiency we work to construct a Deep Reading Brain for each child at the School and through our Rollins Center for Language & Literacy every child beyond the school. Deep reading requires learning to make connections between what we read to what we think feel and do. Through deep reading children develop empathy hone critical thinking and go on to make the greatest possible difference in the lives of others.

We believe in connection over compliance. Rather than silencing children we teach them to listen - and to think to question and to solve.
Our staff works together to know and serve each child from within an intentional learning ecosystem that is as joyful as it is rigorous.
Our practices are grounded in structured literacy and built on the sciences of healthy brain development language acquisition and the construction of the Deep Reading work is intentionally centered around critical thinking empathy problem solving and the development of executive functions.
