The Lionheart School was co-founded by some of the Southeast’s leading Early Childhood Education professionals and a group of families unable to find a school or program which fit the needs of their children. Their goal was to create a new type of learning environment - one which combines the area’s finest Special Education teachers, Speech, Occupational and Music Therapy professionals and concerned and active parents.

By focusing on each child’s individual differences, and maintaining the highest possible staff-to-student ratio, the Lionheart School crafts a program suited to each student’s developmental profile. This results in a nurturing and supportive environment, directly addressing the child’s emotional, social and intellectual development.

Naturally, the school relies heavily on the participation of each child’s family to integrate the program into their home life. Because of the individual nature of Lionheart’s work, it is essential that all parents become involved, not only to support the teachers’ efforts, but also to help identify progress and develop new strategies for their child’s ongoing success.

At The Lionheart School, a child’s development is a cooperative effort, with teachers, therapists, consultants, parents and, of course, the children, all actively involved.
