The Amit Gar'inim
School Program
The Amit Gar'inim School is a SACS accredited kindergarten through eighth grade Jewish day school serving children with diverse learning needs. The word Gar'inim, is the Hebrew word for seeds. We chose this name as our children are like the seeds of a sunflower. Each child is unique and will grow in their own way into strong, tall, vibrant adults. To meet the individual needs of each child Gar'inim offers:
- Small group and individualized academic instruction
- Speech and Occupational Therapy incorporated into the school day
- Social/Emotional support which promotes self-awareness and self confidence
- Integrated PE and arts programming with host school promoting overall well-being
- Field trips which promote the generalization of learned concepts into everyday life
Gar'inim's unique program allows us to serve a wide range of learners including those with language based learning disabilities, autism spectrum disorders, and those with other developmental delays and medical conditions.

Amit's Annual Event
Mazel Tov to our three deserving 2012 honorees, Helen Hackworth, Brenda Benamy Lewis and Sylvia Schwartz, who were honored on Sunday, March 25th for their accomplishments and contributions to special needs in the Atlanta Jewish community. The event was chaired by Rachael and Jack Rosenberg and featured Judaica expert Jonathan Greenstein, who did an informative presentation on collecting Judaica followed by appraising over 60 items brought by guests. One of the exciting finds of the day was a small painting of Rabbi's brought in by Talya Bloom. The painting has been in her family since her childhood, and was identified as artwork from a time period in Jerusalem over 70 years ago. In addition to the paintings monetary value of several thousand dollars, it is the sentiment of having something that reminds her of all the past places she has lived, which makes it priceless. Thank you to all of the Amit staff and volunteers who made this day such a success.
