Marietta Johnson School of Organic Education is an alternative school in Fairhope, Alabama serving students in prekindergarten through 8th grade, with a specific focus on students with mild learning differences. The school's philosophy centers on creating a low-pressure, non-regimented learning environment where children develop at their own pace. With an average class size of just 6 students and a total enrollment of 14, your child receives highly individualized attention and support from experienced teachers—75% hold advanced degrees.
