At Phoenix Academy, faculty, staff, and community stakeholders are here to serve the WHOLE student (individual). We know that each student comes to us with their own set of unique experiences and obstacles incurred on their academic journey. However, we work hard to "change the narrative" with the student and chart a new course towards success. Specifically towards high school graduation.  We are here to support, engage, challenge, and nurture each student to become the best version of themselves that they can be. Come join the Phoenix Family and, as a new phoenix, rise up to the challenge!!

School Education Partners: Phoenix Academy & Upward Bound, A Federal Funded program geared to helping students graduate high school and attend a four-year or two-year college/technical program

Upward Bound provides the following support for our students:  College Exposure and Preparation, Individual and Academic Advisement and Support, and Career Development.  If this is of interest to you and you are embarking on your journey here with us at Phoenix Academy, contact Ms. Mullins and Ms. Bush upon entering our program.  

Atlanta Public Schools is committed to creating a culture of student support, and supporting the needs of the whole child. One way we are addressing the whole child is by identifying student strengths and areas for growth relative to social, emotional, and behavioral well-being. In our continuing efforts to support the well-being of all students, we will be administering a universal screener of social, emotional & behavioral health. The assessment consists of a brief rating scale that will be completed by the homeroom or advisement teachers to aid in identifying students who may be at risk to develop academic or other school-related concerns. In addition, students ages 8 and above (3^rd – 12^th grade) will be invited to complete a self-rating that will take 5 – 15 minutes to complete. We acknowledge the importance of parent input into this screening process, therefore parents of students grades Pk-12 will also be invited to complete a brief rating scale about their student(s). Together, this information helps us to understand the needs of all students, and to make effective plans to support those needs at the school, class, and individual levels.

10 APS Schools Receive $1,000 Mini Grants

Ten APS schools have each received $1,000 employee well-being mini grants. The grants will be used to bring increased awareness and support for the mental and physical well-being of Atlanta Public Schools’ valued employees. Improved employee well-being is linked to better attendance, engagement and retention. Made possible by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, the grant funds are awarded to those proposals that best support the mission and vision of APS and the well-being of APS's employees. Funding is used to revamp existing or introduce new well-being programs so that all employees can have access to healthy choices physically and emotionally. Grants are for physical activity, nutrition and emotional well-being initiatives, including: relaxation rooms, yoga classes, healthy cooking, fitness boot camps, mindfulness training, and staff lounge upgrades and more.
The following schools received grants:
