The Paideia School Reviews
Rating 4.29 out of 5 69 reviews
The teachers at Paideia School are some of the most dedicated and caring people; they work hard to make sure all students understand the material, and it’s not hard to ask for help if needed. Paideia is working in increasing diversity and promoting equity with the help of the students. They are always ready to learn, even if their progress isn’t complete.
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.
Very excellent school. I very much enjoyed the student-teacher interactions due to the sizes of the classes (usually smaller than a normal class size). I enjoyed the first name basis we were on with them. The school did a fine job on preparing me for college as the transition for me was very smooth. Only real downside is the low diversity which is understandable considering the price most students pay per year to attend.
