I see they somehow deleted my review from a few years ago…read more DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD TO THIS "SCHOOL". The "teachers", incompetent. The facilities, piss poor. The principal, a money hungry, lying, conniving woman! The only reason my child went here is because someone convinced my son's mother that this awful establishment was a decent place for children to learn. Upon my first time dropping my son off, I got the impression it was everything but that. From their humble beginnings in an office park building they've managed to transfer to a new location with stolen funds all while falsely claiming to be a center of excellence. If they're so excellent, explain to me why one of their very own teachers couldn't discern between a noun and a verb. Explain why that same teacher didn't have an education license to save the school money. Also explain why that teacher was formerly a correction officer no more than 6 months prior with no prior education background. These are the individuals the principal are hiring to teach your kids. The principal herself is a joke. She's too scared to even have a face to face conversation about how terrible her staff is and threatened to call the cops on me for wanting to have a private face to face convo with her and one of her staff. Trust me, you'd be better off saving your money because you won't get the value for what you've spent when you could have sent your child to Georgia State for a year instead for what it cost to go to Philmore. You'll regret it and wish you'd taken heed. I beg of you, don't do it to yourself or to your child. I promised this woman I'd ruin her business and I will not stop until she's out of business! The post below is so she doesn't come on here lying as if she's never dealt with me before.

She's constantly having her staff wait for their paychecks, because the only thing she prioritizes is her wardrobe and personal expenses. This experience was so disappointing. Our children are now excelling at other schools and their grades aren't being manipulated to create a false sense of excellence. If the school is so excellent why aren't her school-age children attending?

I can't say enough great things about the experience my son had at A Unique Learning Academy. He began at age three and continued through first grade. The foundation he received has prepared him well! The administrative staff (Mr. & Mrs. Hunt) have been nothing short of amazing! They ensure that the children are loved, respected, fed well and provided the best opportunities to succeed. The teachers are also amazing and provide the structure, rigor and reinforcement critical to student success. A Unique Learning Academy has provided a foundation for my son that will last a lifetime!

The owners Mr. and Mrs. Hunt love what they do. Mr. Hunt is the cook ( good hot meals at breakfast and lunch with extra incentives for academic excellence.) Mrs. Hunt is the Director, business driven, a teacher, mother and a friend. The school only goes to 1st grade and when your child graduates they are very well prepared for 2nd grade. My son is in the 99th percentile 3rd grade 6 month level in Reading, Language Arts and Math according to the ITBS test results, My daughter was 3rd/4th grade when she graduated from AULA as well. This truly is an unique place, phonics, counting, reading comprehension, computer, karate, weekly spelling test ( not the baby words either). Learning begins at 1 years old. The children enunciate their words and are challenged to be critical thinkers. The teachers care, know the children and parents by name, The rates are reasonable in relation to the results you will see in your babies. I definitely recommend this school to all parents with babies, toddlers and young ones. This is the right path to achieve the strong foundation for your children.

Whether your child is a new student or returning student/family respect goes a long way. Instead of coming into the school yelling and screaming at the staff take time to have a conversation with your child, teacher/teachers, the principal and possibly a mediator. This will help with the transition of getting settled into new surroundings. We should be operating as a common ground. Lets come together as a community and move mountains together. Let's get a hold and ahead of situations. Once we accomplish that we can accomplish anything. With a little work great things can be accomplished.

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.
