A Night at the Speakeasy: 2026 Gala Highlights
The 2026 Speakeasy Gala was a powerful evening of generosity and community, bringing together 200 guests and 27 dedicated sponsors in support of MDE School. Thanks to this incredible collective effort, the event netted $88,000. These funds will directly support critical program needs and enhance the daily experiences of our students.
A portion of the proceeds will fund the expansion of our existing playground, creating more opportunities for safe, engaging, and developmentally appropriate outdoor play.

MDE is not just another school but a refuge for families like mine. MDE prioritizes its students and families above all else. It stands as a beacon in this community, one that I am proud to be part of and support.
Who We Are
MDE School is the only special education school in the Atlanta metro area supporting neurodiverse students from preschool through early adulthood. As a nonprofit private school, we provide personalized education for students with developmental delays who may not thrive in traditional settings.
Our tailored academics, enrichment programs, and life skills training empower each student to reach their full potential in a supportive, nurturing environment. When ready, students can transition seamlessly to MDE Vocational Academy on our campus, serving young adults ages 15+ with a focus on vocational, life, and social skills.
Our experienced team specializes in working with students with autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, communication disorders, and other learning differences supporting each child’s academic, social, and emotional growth at their own pace.
