Welcome Letter ★ Head of School Chris Pomar

Greetings, Swift Community, Spend time on Swift School’s campus, and you’ll immediately feel the vibrant energy, positivity, and excitement that define the Swift Effect®. Last year, we proudly celebrated our 25th anniversary, marking a quarter-century of empowering students with language-based learning differences, ADHD, and executive functioning disorders. Since opening our doors in 1998, Swift School has been dedicated to helping students experience success academically and beyond. Reflecting on the 2023-24 academic year, I’m thrilled to share that it was a milestone year, and not just because of our silver anniversary. In my first four years of being a part of Swift School, a recurring theme has been gratitude. Gratitude for: ★ staying open while prioritizing student progress and safety during the pandemic, ★ unsolicited emails from former families and alumni that “the Swift School changed my life” or “the Swift School saved our family” ★ the descriptions by current families of the differences they’ve seen in their students ★ the remarkable faculty dedicated to this school ★ the faculty and staff who came before me, ★ all who continue to support the school with their philanthropy Year after year, the Swift community continues to display incredible positivity and resilience. Last year, our memorable community-building events included Grandparents and Special Friends Day, May Family Fest, the second-annual Bingo Bonanza for the entire school, our inaugural March Madness event, and the second Girl Boss Day for Middle Division girls.

Our alumni credit Swift School for setting them on the path to success in life. Each year, they return to campus to catch up with former teachers who played an important role in their education. Their fond memories of and appreciation for Swift were made possible by our best-in-class educators and the most compassionate teachers I have ever known. If you have a story about how Swift School played an integral role in your life, I invite you to share it with me the next time you are on campus.

With heartfelt gratitude and all best wishes,

please email Banks Scothorn at bscothorn@theswiftschool.org.

Student Success ★ Class of 2024

Prepared to Succeed Reflecting on The Class of 2024 Graduation is a celebration — a time when tears of joy, laughter, and smiles are expressed freely as the accomplishments of an outstanding group are recognized.

The Swift School community is incredibly proud of its 19 members of the Class of 2024.

At commencement, each eighth grader received a certificate of completion and crossed the stage to enthusiastic applause from family, friends, faculty, and staff.

Declan, Grady, Harrison, and Sofia were awarded the Determination Award for their unwavering persistence. Aili received the Citizenship Award. Anna Kate was honored with the Leadership Award. Grace won the Spirit Award.

The Director’s Award, given annually to the student who demonstrates significant academic and social growth, was proudly presented to Luke by Mrs. Jozefov, acknowledging his hard work throughout his time at Swift.

Additionally, Luke and his friend Cameron received the Shining Star Award, recognizing students who have been at Swift for six or more years.

Mr. Lyle and Mrs. Berry added a touch of humor to the celebration with their presentation, “Predictions for the Eighth Grade Class of 2024,” which filled the room with laughter. Among their predictions, Erin will win a gold medal in every Olympic sport, Valentina will become a successful injury attorney, and Anna Kate and Grace will host a talk show on every TV network.

Well Wishes Swift is thankful for the legacy each student has created, for their dedication in the classroom and on the field, and for being outstanding role models to their peers.

“I am proud of each member of the Class of 2024,” said Melissa Jozefov, Middle Division Director.

2023-24 Annual Report ★ 11

Sofia, who joined Swift after her seventh-grade year, earned second place in the Middle School Painting division of the Georgia Independent Schools Association Virtual Art Show. Her painting was inspired by her desire to depict a

baby animal. “For the design, we had to include different patterns, so I drew a variety of shapes and a checkerboard with lots of colors. I wanted the background to be colorful, so I painted it with watercolors,” Sofia explained.

Giving ★ Swift Fund Letter

Dear Swift Family, To put it simply, The Swift School changes lives. When my son was diagnosed with dyslexia, I knew that finding the right school for remediation was paramount. His learning challenges included not only dyslexia but also dyscalculia and dysgraphia which made finding the right school all the more important. Swift was that school.

Watching my son’s frustration subside and his confidence build after entering the halls of Swift School was amazing. The support he received throughout his day from the highly trained, caring, and compassionate staff made the difference. The faculty and staff consistently rose to the occasion and answered the call.

Success with learning differences is possible because of Swift School. My son is now a freshman in high school and is thriving, academically and socially, in ways I never thought possible before Swift.

I am also a member of the Board of Trustees. Swift School’s parents, alumni, and the community play a vital role in the school’s success. I am proud to say that last year, Swift Fund participation reached record levels: 100% from faculty, staff, and board members, along with 84% parent participation, allowing us to surpass our goals. If you are considering giving to Swift School, let me assure you that your generosity impacts each Swift student. I have seen it firsthand, and I am forever grateful.
