About Us

Overview

The Georgia Network for Educational and Therapeutic Support (GNETS) is a service available within the continuum of supports for Local Education Agencies to consider when determining the least restrictive environment for students with disabilities, ages 5-21. Eagle Woods Academy serves students in grades 6-12. 

GNETS services is an option in the continuum of supports that prevents children from requiring residential or more restrictive placement. Students receiving services through GNETS are referred by their local school system through the Individual Education Program (IEP) process. GNETS provides comprehensive educational and therapeutic support services to students who exhibit intense social, emotional and/or behavioral challenges with a severity, frequency or duration such that the provision of education and related services in the general education environment has not enabled him or her to benefit educationally based on the IEP.

Eagle Woods Academy is a therapeutic educational service whose mission is to provide holistic, meaningful instruction in a safe, supportive, structured environment. Our overall goal is to prepare students to continue their education in a less restrictive environment. Our interdisciplinary team works to foster social, emotional, and cognitive growth so that students may reach their maximum potential.

We intend to accomplish this mission by:

1. Building trusting relationships among all staff, students, and families.

2. Providing opportunities for each student to develop a feeling of self-worth, sensitivity to others, self-reliance, appreciation for cultural diversity, and decision-making skills.

3. Systematically utilizing available resources within the school system and the community.

4. Providing diverse experiences for students which foster successful transition into adult life.

5. Facilitating understanding and support for our students and their families within the community.
