Special Education Services

The 1997 amendments to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and the more recent 2004 Individual with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEIA) have mandated that every school district in the county develop a system to identify children with disabilities, from birth through age 21, who live within the district.

Georgia Cyber Academy will make a concerted effort to identify, locate and evaluate children who have a suspected or confirmed disability, in accordance with all federal regulations and state standards as required by Child Find. In addition, it shall be the policy of Georgia Cyber Academy that the child with a disability and his or her parents/ guardians shall be provided with procedural safeguards, as required by law, throughout the identification, evaluation and placement process and with a free and appropriate public education (FAPE).

LIFE: Learning Information with Functional Education

LIFE is an acronym for Learning Information with Functional Education. Our goal is to make sure your child is a contributing member of society one day, equipped to handle the real world. We do that by teaching life skills and by helping students celebrate their successes and grow their abilities. Your amazing hard work and dedication as a parent enables us to do our job. Thanks for all you do! We look forward to working with you and celebrating everything your child is, and everything he or she will become.
