Welcome To Royce Learning Center & Chatham Academy

Royce Learning Center was founded in 1970 by Harriet Royce, along with a small group of other professionals and parents who were advocates for individuals with learning disabilities. As a noted educator of the learning disabled, Mrs. Royce and her peers realized that education could change the life of an individual and their families, ultimately resulting in a stronger and healthier Savannah community.  

Chatham Academy - a school for children with Specific Learning Disabilities and Attention Deficit Disorders - was founded in 1978 by a dedicated group of parents and concerned citizens. Its mission was to address the need for a full-day instructional program tailored to children of average intelligence who struggled to succeed in a traditional classroom setting.
In the summer of 1995, Chatham Academy merged with Royce Learning Center. To preserve the established reputations of both entities, the merged organization retained the Royce name for the center, while the school program continued as Chatham Academy.
 

Chatham Academy  stands as Savannah's sole educational institution specializing in supporting students with learning differences. We offer a unique approach to learning where we fit the curriculum to the student - not the student to the curriculum.

Tutoring offers one-to-one tutoring for all ages, subjects, grade levels, and learning styles. The staff has expertise working with non-traditional learners as well as preparing students for specific high school or college exams.

Summer School has shown to improve academic and social skills, school interest, motivation and relationships with adults and peers. Our strategy is to assist children with learning differences such as ADD/ADHD and other learning disorders to become successful and stay on grade level in school, reducing the likelihood of dropping out.
