Over the past ten years I have dreamed of starting a school unlike any other.  I have envisioned a place with unparalleled instruction, state-of-the-art facilities, and some of the most dynamic and innovative leaders in our country.  Every child would want to come to this school and would begin and end the day with a spark of passion and a smile.  We would all be a family, and the world would be our classroom; there would be no limit to the success our students could achieve.  After years of hard work and planning, I am honored to announce the Ron Clark Academy is a reality.

Based in Atlanta, the school will serve students in 5th through 8th grade who are from low-wealth areas.  Phenomenal teachers who will integrate our curriculum with trips around the world will teach these students.  Each year every grade will take international, travel-study adventures, and by the time they are in the 8th grade our students will have visited six of the seven continents!  

The Ron Clark Academy is going to be unlike any school you have ever visited.  The facility will contain a recording studio, dark room, dance studio, and unique classrooms that have 12-foot high ceilings with expansive windows and exposed ductwork.  Our students will feel proud of our school and will hopefully think it is "cool".  Our library is going to be breathtaking with a two-story vaulted ceiling that leads to a domed skylight, and the gym and auditorium facilities will offer outstanding opportunities for our students to show their athletic and performance skills.  The most impressive part of our campus, however, will be the energy, passion, and excitement that is obvious on the faces of all of our students and teachers.  It is truly going to be an amazing educational facility.

We are embarking on an educational establishment that is going to turn into a model that will be studied and visited from people all around the world.  Our innovative and creative strategies are going to be groundbreaking, and we hope you will continue to follow our progress and become part of the family of the Ron Clark Academy.

With much passion and gratitude,

Ron Clark
