After my son's illness, it was his wish to go to school. Unfortunately he suffered from some minor problems and needed extra attention. We tried many schools with no luck. One day while on the computer I came across Atlantis Academy. I called and went down to check out the school and its teachers. It was like winning the lottery. I have never met such a wonderful administration. Each and everyone of them are warm and wonderful and are very eager to help. My son just loves it there. It is such a pleasure to have a child look forward to going to school each day. The patience and understanding of the staff is just incredible. It is hard to find a school that is willing to take the time with each student. Atlantis Academy has done just that and more.
Thank you

I am the grandparent of an Atlantis Academy student who has been attending the school for three years and can testify honestly that Atlantis Academy is a fine school for special needs children. My granddaughter, who is now in the Middle tier of Atlantis Academy, could not keep up with her studies in previous schools, even though she had an IEP and special classes most every day. Her one wish was "I would love to be able to stay in one classroom, Grammy, and not feel different from everyone else". My granddaughter was not having her needs met in those previous schools and had a very low esteem - she knew she was different and wanted so badly to fit it - but it never happened. Then I did some research and learned of the Atlantis Academy program, visited the school, and had my granddaughter spend a day there. The child loved it instantly, felt as if she fit in perfectly, and the teachers were compassionate and caring from the beginning. I would recommend Atlantis Academy for any child who is a special need student in any form. It will be a relief for the child and for the parent who no longer has to struggle on a daily basis with homework, low self-esteem, and academic failure. Kudos to Atlantis Academy!

I'm a parent of a 3rd grade student that was just recently enrolled into Atlantis Academy on the 4th of Jan 2010. My son hated school, disliked doing homework, kids were teasing him, and some teachers were too busy to pay attention. I have to say that my son is so much more motivated and excited to attend school now. He takes more pride in his homework and he's a happier child. As a parent, I'm very happy and pleased that I took a chance with Atlantis Academy.

We looked at many schools for our Kindergarten-aged son but struggled to find a good fit for him. From the moment we walked into Atlantis Academy we knew we had found a home. During the tour our son felt so comfortable that he sat at a desk in the classroom and never left! Dr. Hershey and her staff are wonderful...they challenge the students to be the best they can be in a loving and caring environment. We truly feel blessed to be part of the Atlantis family.
