A MESSAGE FROM THE

HEAD OF SCHOOL

Gladiator Families,

The 2022-2023 school year was a remarkable year of rejuvenation. Every time our community gathered for events such as Young Author's Celebration or Santa's Workshop, we pinched ourselves as we took a moment to appreciate the fact we could all come together

As we look to this school year and beyond, it is with renewed purpose to deliver on our promise of giving every student the individual attention they need to succeed We are proud to share our three-year Strategic Plan launched last year. This blueprint was developed in partnership with various stakeholders, including parents, faculty, the Board of Trustees, students, and administration The goals will serve as a framework for significant program adoption, guiding day-to-day decisions and measuring our progress. Our completed Strategic Plan recognizes who we are today, what areas we want to grow, and how we will get there

One of the primary focuses of the Strategic Plan is School Safety. Safety and security have always been at the forefront; however, operational needs continually change We must continue to stay on top of new resources and the latest enhancements. This year, we will specifically earmark the money raised from the Gladiator Fund to implement these enhanced safety upgrades and improvements

Atlanta Academy is alive. Our teachers are nurturing and inspiring the lives of our students and your children. On behalf of our Board of Trustees, our faculty and staff, and our students, we thank you for your generosity and support With your help, we look forward to forging new paths together.

SUPPORT THE 2024 GA PRIVATE SCHOOL TAX PROGRAM

Since 2008, the state of Georgia has allowed for the redirection of state income tax liability to a qualified student scholarship program for the purpose of need-based financial aid. Atlanta Academy participates in the qualified student scholarship program known as Georgia GOAL

Through the GOAL program, we have provided aid to students whom we might otherwise not have been able to serve. We would like to thank Gladiator parents, grandparents, faculty, and friends for their participation and support The Georgia GOAL participants are listed for the 2023 tax year through September 30, 2023
