South Metro Atlanta’s Leading K-12th Grade Special Needs School

Preparing students to achieve their unique
and comprehensive life potential

Individualized Education Program

We understand that no two children learn the exact same way on their journey for success. We utilize several researched based curriculum options that we can customize for each individual child.

Our Curriculum

Life & Social Skills

This is high priority for our school. Classroom schedules are created to ensure that time is given to small group life and social skills learning, and the practical application of these skills through Community Based Learning.

Student Life

Caring Positive Environment

We passionately believe that environment promotes happy, well adjusted children who are willing to learn. Our school works incessantly to create this environment for the students, parent, & staff.

The "Our World School" Difference

"THIS is the place to be"

"That the school has to offer and the teachers are amazing. I love the peace of mind that I can leave my son in a safe environment where he is taken care of and learning at the same time. My son has excelled at Our World and we couldn’t be happier with decision to send him here." - Shannon Bailey Osborn, Past Parent

Parent Testimonials

 Our World School remains a safe space for our son Seth to grow and thrive. He has friends, activities, support and the right combination of tools in the people who work there that make sure he matters. I could not choose a better place for my child to grow and exist. I am blessed every day that I can send him to such a place to help him develop into the young man he should be in the world. Dr. Muhsinah Morris

Parent

Choosing the right school for our daughter was one of the most important decisions we’ve made, and we are so grateful we found this community. From the start, it was clear this school truly understands and celebrates children with special needs rather than trying to fit them into a one-size-fits-all model. Our daughter has grown in ways we once only hoped for: academically, socially, and emotionally. Thanks to teachers who are both highly skilled and deeply compassionate, meeting her where she is and helping her build confidence at her own pace. What stands out most is the genuine care and patience shown every day. Our daughter feels safe, supported, and valued, and that has made all the difference! She comes home proud, excited to learn, and more willing to try new things. Communication with families is excellent, and we always feel informed and included. This school has been more than just a place of learning; it’s been a place of growth, encouragement, and belonging for our entire family. Matt & Heather Thompson

Words can't describe the feeling a special needs parents gets knowing their child loves school and feels safe getting out of the car every morning. Cole has come so far since school started. He has become more social and for the first time ever, made a friend. He has developed stronger social and life skills. He has progressed academically and couldn't be happier. I love getting pictures and videos during the day from the teachers and staff. I just love everyone at Our World School. We always say it's more than a school-it is a family!
