Advance Academy at the Matthew Reardon Center for Autism will host an open house on Wednesday, August 6, welcoming both returning families and the wider community to tour the campus, meet staff, and learn more about the Academy's programs. The Open House will take place at the Advance Academy campus located at 11500 Middleground Road in Savannah.

The event will take place in two sessions:

- 12:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m.: Returning Families Session — An opportunity for current Advance Academy families to reconnect, meet teachers and staff, and get ready for the upcoming school year.

- 3:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.: Community Open House — Open to the public, this session invites prospective families, community members, and partners to explore the Academy, learn about its mission, and see firsthand the programs and services offered to students with autism.

Guests throughout the day can purchase food from the Royal Tasty Avenue food truck, on site from 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Open house activities are sponsored in part by Be Home Solutions.

"This open house is a chance to reconnect with our returning families and to welcome the community in to see what Advance Academy is all about," said Shenequa Gresham, President and CEO of the Matthew Reardon Center for Autism. "The relationships, the individualized support, and the belief that every child deserves the chance to thrive. That's what we want people to see when they walk through our doors. We're grateful to partners like Be Smart Home Solutions for helping us make this day possible."
