First Academy has earned Full Accreditation with Quality from the Georgia Accrediting Commission for kindergarten through sixth grade. W.T. Henry from the Georgia Accrediting Commission was very complementary of First Academy. He noted that First Academy was a well-organized operation with a very qualified and capable staff in a great learning climate. He stated, “I was very impressed with the school’s operation as well as their staff and administrative leadership. The Board of Directors as well as the headmaster are most visionary concerning the future for their school. Plans are to add a grade each year until they accommodate all grade levels.”
In addition, the Georgia Accrediting Commission accredited First Academy’s three-year-old and Pre-K programs. Buddy Grimes was the visiting team member who worked with Mr. Henry in the accreditation process of the Pre-K and three-year-old program. Mr. Grimes said, “It is obvious that the headmaster and the preschool director have worked diligently to formulate a most effective program. They have satisfied all requirements that qualify them for accredited status. The learning climate is conducive to the educational goals for this age student.”
