Works Here: As a veteran Public School teacher, I have now worked at Athens Academy for 2 years and continue to be amazed by the school, the students, the parents, and my fellow colleagues. This is the way all students should be able to learn. The academics are top notch, but what really set it apart are the arts, strings, drama, robotics, athletics, and service opportunities that are available from the youngest 3 year olds to the graduating seniors. I only wish I had learned about this school sooner. Do yourself a favor and come visit to see for yourself!... Read 95 reviews

Parent: My student moved from a county school and is thriving. The academics that he is receiving are light years above other schools in the area. Before/After school tutoring is available if he needs it. Teachers are very good at communicating any issues that I need to be aware of. We are SO glad to be at JMS!... Read 3 reviews

Alum: I am forever grateful for the foundation Prince provided for me. The rigorous courses and the excellent faculty prepared me to be a successful college student. The athletic and fine arts opportunities are some of the best. I was personally involved in both fine arts and academics and am very grateful for the opportunity to do both. The faculty and staff at Prince made an eternal investment in my life. I always knew that they genuinely cared about me as a student and a person. The friendships that I made at Prince are lifelong friendships. Spiritually, I was given a Biblical foundation that has prepared me to go into college firm in my faith and prepared to handle the challenges of the world. I learned what it looked like to love the Lord as a student at Prince. I genuinely believe that without Prince I would not be where I am today in my relationship with the Lord. Prince has made an eternal impact in making me who I am today, and I will forever be grateful for this excellent school!... Read 151 reviews

Senior: The teachers and administration at Oglethorpe County Middle School work together to promote an educational yet fun learning environment. They are constantly thinking of new ways to encourage better attendance, grades, and behavior. Because the facilities were built fairly recently, they are all nice and up to date. Though it is a small school competing for funds in a financially deprived county, it takes what it has and runs with it.... Read 1 review

Senior: Overall, I have enjoyed my time at ACS. The Kindergarten and Elementary programs are pretty advanced and impressive, but sadly because of the small numbers, the middle and high school levels are not at as high of a standard as lower groups. Because of low student and teacher numbers, not as many courses can be offered and sports teams can be low in number. Everyone there will care about you!... Read 100 reviews
