Joining the Atlanta Speech School Family

The Atlanta Speech School provides an unmatched opportunity to learn from both peers and experts in the field, and to contribute to the School’s growing body of knowledge. Beyond seeking proficiency, we work to construct a Deep Reading Brain for each child at the School and, through our Rollins Center for Language & Literacy, every child beyond the school. Deep reading requires learning to make connections between what we read to what we think, feel, and do. Through deep reading, children develop empathy, hone critical thinking, and go on to make the greatest possible difference in the lives of others.

• We believe in connection over compliance. Rather than silencing children, we teach them to listen - and to think, to question, and to solve. 
• Our staff works together to know and serve each child from within an intentional learning ecosystem that is as joyful as it is rigorous. 
• Our practices are grounded in structured literacy and built on the sciences of healthy brain development, language acquisition, and the construction of the Deep Reading Brain.  This work is intentionally centered around critical thinking, empathy, problem solving and the development of executive functions.

We are committed to providing a community through which all our students, families, and staff show up safely as themselves and for each other. As stewards of this environment, it is our responsibility to ensure safety extends to every person, inclusive of all races /ethnicities, religions, genders, family structures, sexual orientations, and any other aspect of their identity. 

The School has never turned away a child in need of services based on their family’s financial circumstances. 

We are committed to offering competitive and comprehensive benefits to our team, promoting their health, well-being, and long-term success both in and outside the workplace.

Atlanta Speech School

Founded over 85 years ago, the Atlanta Speech School has evolved into four school divisions, four clinical programs, Rollins Center for Language & Literacy professional development program and Rollins’ free online Cox Campus. Across all our programs we are driven to ensure that each child can find their voice. The School has never turned away a child in need of our specialized services based on their family’s financial circumstances.

We are the educational equivalent of a teaching hospital. With our vision of literacy and justice for all, we lead equity-based change by extending our work beyond our campus. What occurs in the classroom for each child at the Atlanta Speech School is made available to every teacher through our free online professional learning platform, Cox Campus. The Cox Campus’ membership comprises more than 270,000 educators, leaders, healthcare professionals, and parents from all 50 states and 100 countries.  

The School, across all its programs, attracts a staff of the most gifted and committed teaching professionals who apply the research of the nation’s leading experts on early healthy brain development, language acquisition, and Deep Reading Brain.
