The Orion School (formerly The 504 School) is an intimate, non-profit school located in Midtown
Atlanta that specializes in educating bright, active students between
the ages of 5 and 12 who have ADHD and co-occurring conditions. We understand
the unique academic and behavioral challenges facing students who have
ADHD and offer an alternative educational environment that delivers
both remediation and enrichment.
Our core educational premise is that the educational environment needs
to adapt to fit the needs of the individual child as opposed to traditional
schools where the child is expected to fit the needs of the educational
environment.
Our typical student is active and our program reflects this need. We
focus on the whole child by integrating the cognitive, social, emotional
and physical needs of our students into the program. Our mission is
to ensure that our students are self confident, able to engage in positive
social interactions, and able to experience success within an academic
setting.
We are conveniently located at but not affiliated with the Grace United
Methodist Church in midtown Atlanta. We would like to thank The Grace
United Methodist Church for their continued support and generosity.
We are currently accepting applications for the 2009/2010 school year and the 2010/2011 school year.
The Orion School is a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization. The Orion School admits students
of any race, color, national or ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges,
programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students
at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color,
national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies,
admissions policies, scholarship and athletic or other school-administered
programs.
Listen to our school's director and founder Laura Markson on Karen Powell's radio
show - Education Forum as she discusses the school's philosophy. http://www.radiosandysprings.com/showpages/education.php (View the 2/17/2010 edition)
