I entered Paideia in eight grade. The biggest difference between Paideia and my old school was the the focus on the arts. Paideia has great musical and visual arts facilities. Something else very noticeable about Paideia is the amount of free rein the school gives it teachers in the classroom. Teachers are allowed to choose what topics they want to cover over the semester; they're also given a lot of choice in how they want to teach that topic. Much of the education I received there (except for a handful of classes) strayed from any standard state or federal curriculum. I was able to receive a very unique and wholistic education there. Preparation for AP tests can be a little lacking though, there aren't as many AP classes offered as there would be in most high schools. The school is also not as racially diverse as most schools in Georgia, but it does make genuine efforts to confront racial issues in an educational setting. The school also has a phenomenal college prep department.
Strong teachers; School makes an attempt at diversity and inclusion but in the end it is a white rich school that seriously lacks diversity. It’s greatest strengths are it’s teachers, greatest weakness is administration that has been there over 40years. No new vision. White fragility, no actual anti racist policies. For 25k can probably hire some really good tutors. It had a lot of great potential. Woodward is a better choice.
The sense of community is unparalleled and classes and teachers are interesting and engaging. Smaller class sizes allow for teachers to work more with students individually. Diversity, equality, and inclusion are emphasized here, however most of the students’ and teachers’ political views are entirely the same; there is very little political diversity.
