Born with a rare seizure disorder, Chloe needed a school that truly understood her unique challenges. With a tailored curriculum and individualized support, Chloe’s progress exceeded every expectation. The teachers’ patience and dedicated one-on-one time have not only supported Chloe academically but also socially and emotionally, transforming her from a sensitive child prone to meltdowns to a confident, regulated, and happy student who eagerly looks forward to school each day. Southern Raised Learning has become family to us, and the school’s unparalleled commitment to each student has made a lasting, life-changing impact on Chloe and our entire family.

Southern Raised Learning has profoundly impacted my family by fostering growth in each of my children. My oldest son, Ben, is now in his fourth year, and during this time, I have witnessed a transformation in his leadership, confidence, and academics. Public school left him struggling with delays and behavioral issues, yet Southern Raised provided him with the individualized learning he needed to flourish.

My younger son, Mac, now in his second year, has also flourished in ways that were not possible in a homeschool environment. SRL’s knowledge of his individual needs and learning style has been invaluable, especially in supporting his social interactions—a major area of progress. The teachers’ patience and encouragement have helped Mac to attempt tasks he once feared, allowing him to build resilience and self-assurance. This school meets each student where they are academically, embraces them with love, and fosters an environment of inclusion and support, allowing them to reach their fullest potential.

Southern Raised Learning transformed our son Oliver’s life by fostering growth in confidence, social skills, and academics. Before attending, Oliver struggled with school anxiety, fearing he would make mistakes and fall behind. Through individualized attention and encouragement from the compassionate staff, he became more confident in his abilities, no longer feeling stressed about making errors. Small class sizes and personalized support allowed him to thrive, and he now approaches school with a positive attitude, even after transitioning to public school.

SRL’s dedicated support enabled him to catch up academically. The impact of their care and expertise is evident in Oliver’s progress, and we are deeply grateful for their role in his journey.

Many people could give me countless reasons why my daughter wouldn’t be able to learn—her severe medical diagnoses, physical limitations, and the challenges of a rare genetic syndrome. But the teachers at Southern Raised Learning saw something different. They believed that with the right support, my daughter could not only learn but truly thrive. Southern Raised Learning has done more than just meet Emery at her level—they’ve created a place where she belongs. Her teachers pour into her based on her unique needs, and she’s surrounded by friends who love and accept her just as she is. In just one short year, Emery has made incredible strides. Southern Raised Learning has truly partnered with us, walking alongside us every step of the way as we strive to give Emery the best life possible. For that, we are profoundly grateful.

Southern Raised Learning has been a lifeline for our son, Jake, who faced numerous challenges from birth, including multiple disabilities that impact his communication and learning. After being told by doctors that academic success would be unlikely for him, we feared he would struggle to find a place where he could truly thrive. Southern Raised Learning answered our prayers by offering a nurturing environment tailored to Jake’s unique needs, where academic goals are customized for how he learns. In this community, Jake has flourished not only academically but also in essential life skills, laying the groundwork for his future. Southern Raised provides a vital space where students like Jake, who might otherwise fall through the cracks, are given the chance to reach their full potential. The impact of this school goes beyond academics—it has built a family of teachers who truly invest in each child’s story and future, for which we are profoundly grateful.

Southern Raised Learning has been instrumental in helping our son Oliver, who was diagnosed with a speech delay and didn’t speak until he was 4 1/2, make extraordinary progress both academically and socially. Traditional classrooms left him feeling lost, but SRL’s individualized approach to learning gave him the chance to thrive. By tailoring instruction to his unique communication needs, SRL enabled him to go from not responding to his name to confidently writing, spelling, and speaking it. Within one year, he advanced from speaking single words to forming complete sentences, and the compassionate support of teachers and classmates helped build his social confidence and engagement. After two transformative years at Southern Raised Learning, Oliver had developed enough skills to transition to a general education setting. The personalized care, encouragement, and attention SRL provided were life-changing, empowering him to meet challenges head-on and equipping him with a foundation for lifelong success.

Southern Raised Learning has been a beacon of growth for our daughter, Alena, who faced significant challenges socially and academically before enrolling in 2022. Within just three months, Alena began to make eye contact and adapt to small changes. By the end of her first year, she was so independent that she no longer needed a daily chaperone, surprising both staff and other parents. Today, Alena confidently participates in group activities, has stopped echolalia, and can hold eye contact while communicating. Her attention span and social skills continue to flourish, and she no longer struggles with homework. We are deeply grateful for their role in our daughter’s progress and believe they have the potential to benefit countless other children.
