Innovating Schools. Inspiring Minds.

Tapping Into Unlimited Potential

The neighborhoods of south Atlanta are full of potential, but the schools have not always ensured opportunity for all the students in their care. Atlanta Public Schools partnered with Purpose Built Schools Atlanta to manage Slater Elementary, Thomasville Heights Elementary, Price Middle and Carver STEAM Academy to give each school the support they need.

Community Growth through Education

We empower students to become change agents who create positive, long-lasting impact in their communities.

Achievement with Caring Guidance

The key to our success is innovative, caring educators who come to school every day excited to help students – and their families – discover their excellence.

Stewards for Success in Learning

After forming the highly successful model at Drew Charter School, our leaders are building on that foundation to deliver results for students in south Atlanta.
