Does Cumberland Academy of Georgia accept the Georgia Promise Scholarship?

Not for 2026-27, based on the state record. Cumberland Academy of Georgia does not appear on GESA's participating school list approved as of April 23, 2026, so Promise funds can't pay its tuition.

Schools could apply in the October 1-31, 2026 window, and new approvals are added to the list. A Promise family could still use the account for approved items outside tuition, or choose a participating school.

Does Cumberland Academy of Georgia take the Georgia Special Needs Scholarship (GSNS)?

Yes. Cumberland Academy of Georgia is on the Georgia Department of Education's authorized participating list for the 2026-27 Special Needs Scholarship. A student who had an IEP, or a 504 plan for a listed condition, in a Georgia public school last year can bring a GSNS award here.

Authorization lets the school accept the scholarship. It doesn't mean the school provides every service in an IEP, so ask about the specific supports your child uses.
