The Rollins Center for Language & Literacy was founded in 2004, with the singular purpose of extending the science-based instruction received by each child at the Atlanta Speech School to every child in the region. Since 2014, through a generous grant from the James M. Cox Foundation, the Rollins Center has taken their work to global scale – making the science and its application available to educators and child-facing adults everywhere through the courses, resources and community of the free Cox Campus.

Since the very beginning, the Rollins Center has been dedicated to literacy and justice for all – regardless of zip code, race or ethnicity. Cox Campus was founded on these same principles of equity and ensuring no child is denied access to educational opportunity, and every child is literate. A means to an end, the ability to read deeply is a right that ultimately provides the full chance to lead a choice filled life and make the most difference in the lives of others.

The Rollins Center partners with leaders in the science of literacy and child development to influence and inform every course offered on Cox Campus, and to help realize Rollins’ mission of educational equity.

Founded to break the cycle of illiteracy for children who have experienced a generational lack of access to educational opportunity, the Rollins Center for Language & Literacy is dedicated to deep reading brain construction for every child through facilitation and coaching in regional schools and, on a global scale, through the free online Cox Campus.
