Lyndon Academy

Holly Springs, GAGrades PreK-12

Lyndon Academy began in 2005 as a Junior Kindergarten pilot in a small Woodstock building, with daily Spanish from day one. Grades were added each year, Mandarin joined Spanish as a third daily language in 2010, and in 2011 we moved to our campus on Toonigh Road in Holly Springs. We are now an independent college-preparatory school for Junior Kindergarten to 12th grade, accredited since 2007 through SACS-CASI, now known as AdvancED. Classes stay small, and extra help is built into the school day at no added cost. Middle schoolers can earn up to nine high school credits early, and the Upper School offers AP courses, dual enrollment, over 75 electives including Driver's Education, and a three-year graduation option. An online program serves grades 7 to 12. Our Terriers compete on campus in basketball, volleyball, cross country and cheerleading, and play football through a partnership with King's Academy. Arts include drama, chorus, concert and marching band, drum line, color guard, and studio and digital art. Families can add care before and after the school day. Tuition is set through the admissions application, with need-based aid, scholarships and state funding considered.

Comparing school options in Holly Springs

Holly Springs families are served by the Cherokee County School District, which runs a Preschool Special Needs Program for children ages three to five. Children receive services at one of several school sites in the county, at home, or in community settings, and all program services are offered at no charge. The Preschool Assessment Office answers at 770-721-8562 on weekdays.

Getting started is a paperwork step: request an intake packet through the district's Preschool Assessment Intake Form or call the office. A developmental evaluation then looks at language, fine and gross motor, cognitive, social-emotional, and adaptive skills, and parents take part. Services are decided at a team meeting you attend. Classroom-based services happen in special education preschool classes at selected county locations, so a Holly Springs child may attend class outside town. Assessments follow the school-year calendar.

Frequently Asked Questions About Special Needs Schools in Holly Springs

What service settings does Cherokee's preschool program use?
CCSD describes three. Home-based services bring a certified preschool special educator or paraprofessional to your home. Community-based services send staff to childcare centers, Head Start centers, or other community settings to work with the child and consult with staff. Classroom-based services place the child in a special education preschool class at selected locations in Cherokee County.
Who works with children in the Preschool Special Needs Program?
The staff includes psychologists, preschool assessment team members, special education preschool teachers, speech pathologists, physical therapists, and occupational therapists. Each child's assessment determines which services fit, and the matching professionals work with the child. CCSD says consultation from other disciplines is also available. Ask at the team meeting which staff will serve your child and how often.
What does the preschool program cost a Holly Springs family?
Nothing. CCSD states that all services provided through the Preschool Special Needs Program are offered at no charge, with funding from federal, state, and local sources. A private preschool or therapy a family chooses on its own is a separate cost. Our IEP prep checklist can help you get ready for the team meeting.
How do I know whether to ask for a preschool assessment?
CCSD offers a short checklist. Does your child learn more slowly than other children, have trouble walking or using the arms, have trouble seeing, talk very little, or speak in a way that is hard to understand? Does your child often not respond, or get upset easily? More than one yes suggests an assessment could help.
