Cumberland Academy of Georgia

Cumberland Academy of Georgia equals educational hope for parents of students with an ASD. Debbi Scarborough’s vision is a testament a child with ASD could thrive in the right academic environment. Thus, leading to a future where students could obtain a high school diploma, attend a college or university, drive a car, and become independent adults. I love the fact Cumberland’s teachers strive to meet students where they are in their academic journey. The objective is to bring out the best in each student. However, there is emphasis for the student to try. For the first time, I have witnessed my son’s confidence and enthusiasm about school. To me, that speaks volume.

Although Cumberland Academy offers many programs to foster its students, nothing exceeds the parent-teacher partnership. The true outcome occurs when all parties work together to make the student successful. We each have to keep in mind there is not a catch all for success. It will look different for each student. Also, it requires a lot of patience and work from everyone. Variations and challenges will occur as we strive to give our student the best education he or she deserves.

I am looking forward to the ongoing relationship we are building with Cumberland Academy of Georgia. Many thanks to the founder and staff. With you, hope does exist!

Cumberland Academy has been a game changer for my son and our family. My only regret is not enrolling him sooner. This school truly enables our children.

Cumberland Academy of Georgia has been a God send for my granddaughter! She has flourished, regained her confidence in her ability to perform & excel in academics. The staff is dedicated, hardworking and devoted to the craft of teaching students with disabilities. I love the curriculum and incorporation of extra curricular activities.
