Why Choose Southern Raised Learning?

About

Southern Raised Learning (SRL) is a fully accredited K-12 private school serving children with diverse learning needs in Peachtree City, Georgia. As a dedicated 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, our core mission is to provide an accessible, high-quality, and individualized education.

We are fully accredited by the Georgia Accrediting Commission (GAC)​, ensuring our curriculum and instruction meet rigorous state standards, and our credits are recognized for high school graduation and college admissions.

Our Child-Centered Philosophy

Southern Raised Learning was founded on the belief that every child can and deserves to experience academic, social, and emotional success. We create a nurturing and supportive environment that addresses the unique challenges and gifts of learners who may struggle in traditional settings.

We focus on:

  • Individualized Instruction: Utilizing the Georgia Core Curriculum while adapting pace and methodology to each student's specific learning profile.

  • Small Class Sizes: Ensuring students receive direct, dedicated attention from our experienced staff.

  • Whole-Child Development: Integrating executive functioning skills, social-emotional learning, and academic goals.

Our Vision

We envision a world where specialized education is not a barrier but a springboard for students to achieve their highest potential and become confident, independent members of their community.

Southern Raised Learning was established in 2019 by Founder Meredith Rosenberg, in response to a critical need for specialized, accredited K-12 educational options for children in the Southern Crescent area of Atlanta.
