Innovating Schools. Inspiring Minds.
We engage more than 1,500 students from Pre-Kindergarten to 12th grade through authentic and culturally relevant project-based instruction.
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.
