  • This school is the only school that showed compassion and patience to my daughter, Vinia who has level 3 autism. She struggled in public school and didn’t have so much support. When we first came to ALA,we were greeted by two dogs and Ms Caroline and I totally felt the place is really nurturing. It’s a good place for kids who need extra attention and support. I wanted to commend Ms Jennifer for being so hands on with my daughter. After few weeks Vinia will always come home and say she loves her school. The teachers here are driven by purpose and one goal. That is to help, love, motivate, teach the kids no matter how challenging it can be. I saw that their approach is all about how the kids will discover their own strengths to become successful in the future. Thank you ALA for working with me with my daughter and for treating us like family. Couldn’t do this without all your support. I am very grateful.

  • Great school

  • They don't even deserve one star. The staff handles kids physically, they use scare tactics, and isolation as punishment. My child has been assaulted by staff on multiple occasions. It's not a safe place for kids.

  • My son has been going to this school for 6 years and it’s been really a great experience he enjoys the photography class and every month they go on a trip and have nice memories!

Questions parents ask about Advance Learning Academy

Is Advance Learning Academy a licensed child care provider in Georgia?

Advance Learning Academy holds Georgia record EX-48576, listed as "Open" by Bright from the Start: Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning in Camden County. Confirm current standing on the state's provider search at families.decal.ga.gov before enrolling.

Why is Advance Learning Academy exempt from licensing in Georgia?

Georgia records Advance Learning Academy under the "Day Camp and School Breaks" exemption. An exempt programme is not licensed by the state and is not held to the same standards as a licensed centre or home, so ask the provider directly what oversight it does operate under.

What is Advance Learning Academy's Quality Rated star rating in Georgia?

Georgia publishes no Quality Rated star rating for Advance Learning Academy. Participation is voluntary, so a provider without a rating has not been assessed under the programme rather than been rated poorly, and it is licensed and inspected either way.

Does this page show inspection results for Advance Learning Academy?

No. Georgia publishes inspection and complaint history for each provider by fiscal year, and none of it is included here, so nothing on this page reflects Advance Learning Academy's inspection record either way. Look the provider up on the state's provider search at families.decal.ga.gov and read its visit history.
