Rendering of New Royce Learning Center Facility Royce Learning Center will hold a re-dedication breakfast at 9 a.m. on October 29th, 2009 to celebrate the completion of renovations to their building at 4 Oglethorpe Professional Blvd. The ceremony will include performances by Chatham Academy students and a ribbon cutting.

In 2006, Royce mounted a Capital Campaign to raise money for much needed building renovations. The three year campaign resulted in over $500,000 in contributions. Renovations to the building include exterior stucco and painting and a redesign and replacement of the entrance to reflect the school's colors and spirit. The building renovations were designed by local firm Cogdell & Mendrala Architects PC. Work was completed by Erickson Associates, Inc. Major gifts received for the work include donations from

The Colonial Foundation, Dr. and Mrs. Morris Geffen, Mr. and Mrs. Jeff Lasky, and The Solomon's Fund. Partial funding for the project was also obtained through the Chatham County 2004 SPLOST.

Chatham Academy, a direct service of Royce Learning Center, was established in 1978 to address the academic and social needs of children with learning differences. Students work in an individualized, small group setting where the curriculum provides opportunities for each child to be challenged and to excel. Daily programs also reflect concern for the social and emotional growth of each student. Chatham Academy is dedicated to meeting the educational needs of children with different learning styles. Teachers use a variety of language based and multi-sensory teaching methods to make learning accessible to every child. Chatham Academy has designed the classrooms, teaching techniques and curriculum to allow each child to experience academic and social success. Royce Learning Center is a United Way member agency.
