MDE school opening Aug. 3 Archives

Submitted information:

Our students learn differently and are already provided with more space than in a traditional educational setting. So, as we all look to the fall, know that MDE School’s 4:1 student to teacher ratio has always been in place, allowing our students to have the space they need for educational success. This ratio also makes social distancing a natural fit and allows our staff to be vigilant in their cleaning of high touch areas. Fall 2020 will be yet another opportunity to demonstrate the incredible potential of all learners. From 1-1 academics to small groups for life skills lessons to our vibrant elective offerings, we are excited to continue working with our wonderful students.

A multi-sensory approach to learning is the key to success. Our top priority is for students to be successful, increase self-esteem and confidence, and above all stay healthy. The low student-to-teacher ratio fosters a positive learning experience throughout the day. We provide opportunities for students to develop social skills along with academics.

MDE School, the only school of its kind in Cobb County, provides an exceptional learning environment where students with special needs have access to academics, music, drama, adaptive PE, enrichment programs and life skills training. MDE serves students with, but not limited to, Autism, Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, communication disorders, and developmental delays.

Since MDE School’s inception in 2009, enrollment has increased from 3 to 50 students from all over metro Atlanta. MDE is able to uniquely serve children with special needs who cannot be served in a traditional educational environment, and addresses each students’ learning, social, cognitive, and developmental goals allowing their students to maximize their potential.
