About The Wardlaw School at Atlanta Speech School

The Wardlaw School at the Atlanta Speech School in Atlanta, Georgia, is an internationally acclaimed specialized private day school dedicated exclusively to children in Kindergarten through 6th Grade of average to superior intelligence with dyslexia and language-based learning differences. Established within the historic Atlanta Speech School, Wardlaw combines intensive, research-based multisensory Orton-Gillingham instruction with a rich, full-subject academic curriculum. Certified speech-language pathologists and reading specialists maintain low student-to-teacher ratios (typically 4:1) to address phonological processing, reading decoding, written expression, and executive functioning. The school's ultimate mission is to build robust literacy foundations, self-advocacy, and confidence, empowering students to transition smoothly into mainstream independent or public college-preparatory schools.
