Landrum

About Landrum

Opened in September 2019, this campus houses a large portion of our education program, Hope Academy, serving students from first grade through high school. We also provide onsite ABA therapy with support and supervision from Board Certified Behavior Analysts, speech therapy, and occupational therapy.

Housed on over 42 acres with a view of Glassy Mountain, this campus features three separate buildings, a state-of-the-art gym and a large outdoor playground.

We are grateful to Tab and Laurin Patton, who gifted us with this amazing facility in February 2020, and to the Providence Foundation and other generous donors who funded the necessary renovation and up-fitting costs.
