Founded in Florida in the late 1960s, this is the only Georgia-based Center Academy and opened in August of 2008. It is approved by the Georgia Department of Education as a Georgia Special Needs Scholarship School and scholarships are available to students who attended public school the previous year and who have a an Individualized Education Plan (IEP). It was originally founded to help students with learning disabilities such as dyslexia, but its individualized approach helps students with a variety of learning styles, including those who want to work ahead by taking more challenging courses.
