I find it difficult to fully convey just how remarkable this school is and to articulate my…read morefeelings about it. Choosing this institution for my children has undoubtedly been one of the best choices I've made. It genuinely feels like a community committed to supporting families, with everyone at the school focused on inspiring and encouraging our children to achieve their highest potential. My kids have flourished into motivated, self-driven individuals, all thanks to the nurturing atmosphere here. Mrs. Monica, the principal, is truly a blessing. She connects with each child on a personal level, knowing their names and understanding their unique traits. Her compassionate and attentive approach makes her an invaluable part of their lives. This school has played a crucial role in guiding my children as they navigate their journey into adulthood. The administrative team shares this passion, welcoming every parent with kindness and understanding. It's clear that the school is led exceptionally well, as the teachers take the time to engage with students, providing support and encouragement whenever they notice a child in need. My Son achieved something we never anticipated--he made it all the way to the region of Athens for the science fair , and I credit this success to the school and his science teacher, Mrs. Graves, who motivated him. His two favorite coaches, Mr. Johnson and Coach D, also inspire him whenever they see him struggling. My younger son teach Miss Jones takes a different approach to support my son on his challenging days, while Mrs. Banks encourages him to push himself and strive for more. This school is not merely a place of education; it feels like a family, with everyone collaborating to help our children thrive. If you are looking for a school for your child, I wholeheartedly recommend considering this one. MY CHILDREN LOVE THIS SCHOOL

- I would strongly advise against sending your child here. I initially had my child attend due to…read moretheir Christian values, location, pricing, and to support black business. It was truly the WORST experience I have ever had. From admission with the representative Ms. Cassandra, to being overcharged and not being credited, staff always referring to the principle if you had questions, poor response time from principle, little to no communication between parents and teachers. I barely knew what was going on with my child, outside or what was told to me. Not all staff is bad but from my experience, I personally dealt with attitudes from Ms. Cassandra, a teacher yelled shut up to their class and lied, and overall unpleasant responses when seeking more help. I do encourage black businesses but this one, has major work to do. - 2024-2025 school year review

Not sure what to say about this school because of the new principal. Apparently, the previous years…read morehave been disastrous with building & grounds upkeep, education expectations, school programs, and more. I learned a lot from the other parents at the first parent/principal meeting of the year. Since my boyfriend's son began attending here, I've noticed there have been A/C problems, shortages of bus drivers (meaning there have been doubled routes), and other slight inconsistencies that concern most parents... myself included. However, all of these concerns were addressed at the parent/principal meetings I have attended. Seems the parents who have children that attended there the previous years have been extremely dissatisfied with the previous principal and the lack of interest for any of the parents' concerns about the children fighting, electric problems and whatnot. Now that there is a new principal and she seems genuinely concerned with all these things, it seems the parents are a lot more satisfied with the way the school is now being run. There is still a bus driver shortage and the parking lot gravel is still horrible, but at the moment those issues are out of her control.

Bullying is not dealt with properly by the school and whomever in charge of that department. Kids…read moredo whatever they want and no repercussions for their actions. They rather jump to conclusions before even looking into the matter accordingly . Multiple complaints have been made while all the people who are supposed to protect your kids while in their care turns a blind eye without any concern. Today a fight erupted at the school bus stop which ended with my nephew in the hospital. Now the school justified the action and did not have any kind of empathy on the injured child. Everything is shoved under the rug while they go about their day!

They are patient and they also try to get the parents involved with doing homework assignments due at the end of each school week. They also have a diverse group of students which is nice to see. I would highly recommend this school for families who live in the area.

As a former teacher of The Academy of Scholars for several years, I am saddened to read some of the…read morenegative and false reviews of the school and their current Chief Learning Officer, Ms. Stacy Lambert-Johnson. As a veteran teacher of the school, I know that the entire administration treats all of their employees with nothing but kindness and respect. The school provides an outstanding education for families in Atlanta's surrounding communities. Like most private schools, they hold their staff to very high standards, but nonetheless standards that are achievable for teachers who are passionate, present, hardworking, and truly want to teach. From what I have witnessed, they believe teachers should educate their students because it is their passion. I can imagine that as a prospective parent, you would want nothing less. Ms. Lambert-Johnson and the rest of the administration work harder than any other team I have had the privilege of working with. They take pride in the school and believe that all of their children deserve a quality education. They are genuinely involved with their staff's well-being and want nothing but the best for all of the individuals that they connect with each day. Ms. Lambert- Johnson and the administration take the time and effort to get to know each employee and honor their beliefs, philosophies, and interests. If teachers have a suggestion, they are receptive and respectful to their ideas. If they have been stern with an employee or given a consequence, it is because that employee's actions were not in the best interest of the child. Like all great places of work, the administration's prerogative is simple - do your job well because the families we work for deserve it. I believe that these negative reviews are a reflection of one disgruntled employee's feelings, and it is so disappointing that an educator would feel the need to degrade someone who gives their heart and soul to the school and all of the people who belong to it. I am proud to be a former teacher of the Academy of Scholars and would highly recommend it to fellow educators and families. I pray that if you have seen a negative review, you look beyond it and get to know The Academy of Scholars and the administration for who they truly are- a community of educators who are interested in nothing but educating children to their fullest potential in the most nurturing and supportive environment possible.

My daughter went to The Academy of Scholars and our experience wasn't the best. She started school…read moreabout six weeks late (which was required by the school since she was a new student to the area. I also wasn't told this until a couple of weeks before school started which was unacceptable), which I knew would be a challenge, but I expected more support from the school to help her get on track. Instead, there wasn't much communication or a real plan to catch her up. Her grades started slipping, especially in math, which has always been her strongest subject. I kept waiting for the school to step in with extra help or at least keep me in the loop, but that didn't really happen. It felt like they just let her struggle instead of working with us to make sure she succeeded. I was asked to email my concerns to the head of school in Jan of 2025. I am still waiting for a response and it's now a new school year. You have to let them know by February if your child will be coming back in the new school year if not you will be stuck in your contract and required to pay regardless of enrollment status. In waiting for a response, I went ahead and submitted a request to pull my child from enrollment for the next year. I assume that lead to their lack of support and interest in my child's education. I wanted this to be a good fit, but the lack of support and communication from the staff made it really frustrating. Families need a school that actually partners with them, and unfortunately that wasn't our experience here.

The school facilities were pretty nice - walls decorated with school decorations and students' works. Very colorful setting that encouraged a safe space for learning. For a Saturday morning program, I was very impressed by the involvement and presence of the school administration. Teachers and the principal arrived on time, ready to engage with the students. Good teachers really don't get enough praise for their dedication. Students also arrived by school bus, which is a reliable and efficient way for students to get to a school program on the weekends - so cool! The thing that really topped it off for me was the diversity in the student population. The student body represents 31 different countries... yes THIRTY ONE countries. Most are children of refugees and come without an English background. You definitely would not be able to tell the latter because these kids were engaged throughout the program, displaying proficient in learning/comprehension. I am all for children growing up with diverse group of friends and learning cultural values early on in life. It's something that won't do harm in their future. S/o to Kenny because according to him, I'm the "same language as him." Awwwwww.
