Magnolia Speech School
Building hope for children affected by impairments to language.
Magnolia Speech School believes that barriers imposed by deafness and language impairments can be overcome through early identification and intervention. These children need specialized, self-contained classrooms to learn the language necessary to function in future academic settings.
At Magnolia Speech School, individual educational programs are designed for each child that emphasize developing communication, cognition, and social skills. The children receive as much individual instruction as possible. Parents and staff work together as a team with mutual trust and respect. The skills they learn in their classrooms facilitate their eventual transition to mainstream schools. The school’s ultimate goal for students is to leave Magnolia Speech School prepared for the school of their choice and with the verbal skills to succeed.
The current school requires substantial upgrades and limits its ability to serve more students and increase visibility statewide. After conducting extensive research on options to handle logistical, educational, and space needs for the future, the Board of Directors and staff determined that building a new school was the best option to fulfill the school’s mission. The school will be built on land owned by the school on Bozeman Road in Madison, MS.
The Bower Foundation was able to provide a grant towards the building of the new school.
