“Achieve Academy is a great school where the student curriculum is way above what’s taught in public schools. Mrs. Pvel is an amazing teacher who truly cares about each student” - J. Mann
The Achieve Academy Difference is …
Small Classes
Our small classes allow every child to be seen, heard, and supported. With an average class size of one teacher to twelve students, our intentionally small classes create a nurturing environment where teachers truly know their students’ strengths, challenges, and interests. With more one-to-one attention and meaningful relationships, students feel safe to ask questions, take risks, and grow at their own pace. Achieve Academy is a school where every child matters and no child is lost in the crowd.
Active Learning
We believe the best learning happens when students are fully engaged, curious, and active in their education. That’s why at Achieve Academy, we practice Active Learning, an approach where students build knowledge through hands-on projects, group discussions, real-world experiences, and creative problem-solving. Active Learning empowers every child to think critically, work collaboratively, and take charge of their learning journey.
Field Trips
Achieve Academy extends learning far beyond the classroom. Our students experience hands-on, real-world education through exciting field trips to museums, farms, science centers, cultural festivals, nature preserves, and local businesses. These adventures spark curiosity, build confidence, and connect classroom lessons to the world around us. Every trip allows our students to explore, discover, and dream bigger.
Diverse Curriculum
Achieve Academy celebrates the brilliance of every child. We create spaces and learning materials that reflect our student body and allow every student to discover their passions, embrace their identity, and excel in a supportive, inclusive community. At Achieve, we honor diversity in both our classrooms and the curriculum. Our Black History Month events encourage the community to learn from our students with narratives, engaging visuals, and performances as part of our project-based learning goals.
Entrepreneurship
Every year, each student starts a unique business based on their interests and talents. Our entrepreneurial program gives them the tools to turn creative ideas into real ventures through hands-on projects, business challenges, and mentorship by local entrepreneurs. We empower our young innovators to dream boldly and lead with vision, courage, and purpose. We don’t just prepare our students for the future - we help them create it.
STEM Agriculture
The STEM agriculture program at Achieve Academy includes our Junior Gardening Program, taught twice weekly by Master Gardeners. We believe in planting seeds for a sustainable and self-sufficient future to cultivate responsibility, creativity, and a love for the earth. We visit Fort Valley State University and local farms yearly, and host our agriculture mentors to share their expertise. Our students maintain a sustainable garden year-round, sell the harvest to a local restaurant, and share with the community.
“As a parent, it feels good knowing that your kids are excited about learning and look forward to going to school. It feels even better when your kids are in an environment that allows them to be their authentic selves, builds their confidence, and develops them as a whole person. Our family is SO grateful for Achieve Academy” - The Marshalls
Project Based Learning
Widening the student’s vision of themselves and their capabilities is the main goal of Achieve Academy’s project-based learning plan. During the Marketplace project, students work collaboratively to create an innovative new product from the concept development to the manufacturing process to marketing, learning to become entrepreneurs. Students also make submissions in each grade category in the 4-H regional competitions yearly with great success.
“My son has done a total 360 since he started Achieve. He is actually excited about school and learning now and looks forward to coming to school every day” - C. Caeser
Academic Excellence
Our program of core academics and electives, such as entrepreneurial training and leadership, build confidence in students that prior to Achieve Academy were timid, confused, and lost in school. Our skilled teachers see each child as an individual with unique characteristics that result in differences when they are presented with new material to learn. We know that there is not one go-to approach for learning success, so we approach each lesson as an exploration.
“Ms. Pvel offers a safe environment in these trying times. The student is not just a statistic; she genuinely cares about the children's emotional well-being AND their education” - Mr. and Mrs. Murphy
Diverse Extracurricular Activities
Students at Achieve Academy participate in an evolving list of extracurricular activities including music lessons, Spanish classes with a native speaker, tennis lessons, sewing and design classes, volleyball teams, and art appreciation classes. Exposure to diverse activities ensures that each student finds their passion, and builds on their God-given talents.
“I think Achieve Academy is great! I like the warm, caring attention that is given to my daughter. She is excited about school again!” - D. Allen
CPR and First Aid Training
The safety of our students, their families, classmates, teammates, and friends are of the utmost importance to Achieve Academy. We are a key component of each student’s “village” which means that education is not limited to the traditional academic subjects. Ensuring that each student is prepared for emergency situations is the goal of our CPR and first aid training. Each student is certified by the American Heart Association yearly.
“Achieve Academy promotes confidence and independent responsibility in our children. It advances them with skills that are entrepreneurial based” - F. Richardson
Nurturing Teachers
Achieve Academy’s experienced teachers have a passion for education, a love of learning, and dedication to our students. We see each student as unique, with their own best methods of learning and their own pace of knowledge acquisition. Our teachers create life-long relationships with students that they nurture and care for each day. We are excited to offer an average class size of 1 teacher to 10 students.
