West Family School has a team of professionals who teach students in a homeschool capacity. We consider ourselves a micro-school because we cap our student-to-teacher ratio at 4:2 to give each child the individualized instruction they need.

West Family School serves students ages 12-16 who have been diagnosed with intellectual disabilities. These often result in noted delays in reading, writing, and math as well as mild or moderate speech delays. Students in our program may also exhibit difficulties with fine motor skills, visual-motor development, and sensory processing.

Students arrive by 8:30 a.m. and end their day at 2:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.

West Family School is based in a private home designed and built around the school’s needs. The school has a separate entrance from the home and is equipped with its own kitchen, bathroom, and learning spaces as well as three acres to explore.

We are located in Milton, Ga., a northern suburb of Atlanta. We serve students from Milton and neighboring communities, including Alpharetta, Roswell, Woodstock, and John’s Creek.

Tuition covers the cost of instruction, including the necessary books and supplies and any field trips and homeschool group costs. Families are responsible for lunches, snacks, and any additional recreational activities. Tuition also covers functional and social outings and one-on-one speech and occupational therapy. View our admissions page to learn more about this.

Our typical admissions period is in the fall (November) or spring (February to March). This allows time for the application process, phone interview, school visit, shadow day, and further testing as needed. This process takes time and is something we don’t want to rush during the school year.

Rolling admissions is offered on a limited basis depending on availability and the student’s fit into our existing educational environment.

West Family School operates as a homeschool and, therefore, does not provide financial assistance or SB10 funding.
