Overview

The Bedford School serves students in grades 1–9 with diagnosed learning disabilities such as dyslexia, dyscalculia, auditory processing disorder, and ADD/ADHD. Fully accredited by GISA Georgia Independent School Association, Cognia, and the Georgia Accrediting Commission, the school enrolls approximately 150 students and maintains a 5:1 student–teacher ratio, allowing for highly individualized instruction. Its program combines college-preparatory coursework with targeted remediation in a structured environment supported by a school-wide discipline system and uniforms.

The school is organized into Lower and Middle divisions, with students grouped by ability and placed in classes of 12 or fewer. All students rotate classes and receive English/Language Arts and Math instruction twice daily. A structured, multisensory reading program (SPIRE) is available for students who need to strengthen decoding and fluency skills.
