First of all
“Reading and writing are transformative acts that improve self and society,” a view by Dr. Gholdy Muhammad, scholar and author of Cultivating Genius and Unearthing Joy. The mission of The Ansley School is for students to have deep literacy. The literacy that Dr. Muhammad describes as pursuits of skills development, identity, intellectualism, criticality, and joy. In support of this, every Ansley School student who matriculates past 8th grade, is at or significantly above grade level in literacy and numeracy.
Reach
We are building opportunity and minimizing harm.
With an inception as a preschool to support families struggling with seasons of being unhoused, we will grow to not only be an excellent academic experience for our children and families, but also one that supports our community during the transition from adolescence to early teen years. Year by year and grade by grade we will grow to become a fully accredited and excellent Kindergarten through 8th grade school by providing a holistic educational experience for children and families who are experiencing homelessness throughout our metro community.
Revitalize
Enhancing the lives of the humans capable of more than their circumstances.
Our unyielding commitment to the children and families we serve is to provide individualized family support. With the assistance of social workers and therapeutic & counseling services, we are able to directly address the traumas and realities of homelessness. For children, our commitment is to ensure their educational opportunity and experience is one that represents the very best of what Atlanta has to offer, and not just one that’s “good enough.”
