These students attend school Monday-Friday on a traditional school schedule from August to May. Most every student has an autism diagnosis with coexisting disabilities such as Cerebral Palsy and Down's Syndrome. Students have previously demonstrated they are unable to learn in a large group setting, and our program provides a ratio of three students to every one certified teacher. The small classroom and individualized attention provide the necessary environment for the students to effectively learn and thrive. During the 2023-24 school year we had 8 students across 3 classrooms in the Academy. One of the students in the program graduated with a traditional high school diploma and is currently a freshman at Auburn University. The previous year, another student graduated with a special education diploma and is currently a sophomore at the University of Georgia in their Destination Dawgs program. Students will either graduate and pursue post-secondary studies or move to our Transition Program to develop independent living and workforce readiness skills. 224029 328759 Transition Program In 2022, Collective Learning Academy created a program for students who have "aged out" of high school but who do not have the ability or aspiration to pursue a post-secondary education. These young adults are interested in continued opportunities to learn but focused on developing independent living and workforce readiness skills. In 2022-23, we had 5 students in this program. In February 2024, we opened the Model Studio Apartment which provides a fully operating kitchen and demonstration island, working laundry room, lounge, and primary bedroom and closet. Student progress is measured individually based on specific skill charts, and person-centered planning (PCP) is employed to establish goals and road map for each student. Some students will "graduate" from this program to join the workforce in some capacity and live at home and/or join a group home setting where they can both work and live "independently." 26961 Summer Program Families of students with disabilities often need support during the summer months. Our staff are employed 11 months of the year, and we offer a 6-week summer program for our school-year students and other students who might benefit from our program design. We offer limited academic support and emphasize more the community-based learning experiences and socialization that are a hallmark of our school year program as well. The number of students each week can vary (parents pay by the week) and our enrollment is generally less than the school year enrollment for both the academy and transition program. 976714 true true false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 13 0 12 false false false false false false false false X 5 4 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false GA X LAURIE WARD 4047210079 2715 PEACHTREE ROAD NE ATLANTA GA 30305 ROSEMARY AYBAR HEAD OF SCHOOL 1.0 0.0 X 55065 0 0 LAURA DEISLEY CEO 1.0 0.0 X X 25881 0 3108 WALTER M DERISO III CHAIR 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 PRESTON MCDONALD TREASURER 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 CHRISTINE BROWN SECRETARY 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 JIMBO HANEKLAU BOARD MEMBER 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 80946 0 3108 0 false false false 0 109891 109891 TUITION 611600 1053434 1053434 SUMMER CBI CAMP 611600 26961 26961 OTHER 611600 20087 20087 1100482 3370 3370 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1213743 1100482 3370 0 0 0 0 146716 97068 24824 24824 0 461861 461861 3943 3943 43133 43133 59208 54725 2242 2241 0 0 10453 10453 0 0 0 176215 129898 46317 1915 1915 9484 9484 11198 11198 0 44524 44524 0 0 0 0 0 27944 27944 18452 18452 SCHOOL OPERATIONS 53987 53987 SCHOOL EVENTS 15493 15493 AUTO EXPENSE 2454 2454 OTHER EXPENSES 635 635 1087615 976714 83836 27065 251361 206834 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 258045 64177 23991 193868 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2000 2000 277352 402702 -2 -780 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 -2 -780 X 277354 403482 0 0 277354 403482 277352 402702 126128 X false false false X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 140892 6030 134862 111859 56261 55598 5294 1886 3408 193868 true true true true true true true false false false false false false false false false false true PART VI, LINE 11B THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECEIVES A COPY OF THE FORM 990 BEFORE IT IS FILED.
