Academy of Scholars Christian School Prepares for Fall Students with Teacher Training, Facility Upgrades

The Academy of Scholars, an accredited Christian private school serving Pre‑K through 6th grade in Decatur, GA, is proud to announce its preparations for the upcoming 2025–2026 school year. These include teacher trainings to support phonics instruction and upgrades to their expansive technology infrastructure.

The school is known for its emphasis on research-based phonics reading programs that help ensure fluent reading from the youngest ages. They also offer courses in Spanish and coding/computer science for elementary students.

This summer, the school has implemented several initiatives to enhance its educational environment, including:

• Teacher Readiness: Innovative trainings will strengthen instructional strategies, particularly for the school’s well-known phonics-based reading programs that ensure no child falls through the cracks on the way to reading mastery. Teachers will also boost skills for fostering student engagement and structuring supportive classroom cultures.
• Facility Upgrades: The school is refreshing learning environments across campus with modern technology to support offerings like coding classes. The school is also upgrading collaborative spaces to support immersive education.
• Family Engagement: AOS has streamlined communications and onboarding tools, including virtual tours and orientation materials to support new and returning families and create a welcoming start to the year.

These efforts reflect The Academy of Scholars’ commitment to providing an affordable, high‑quality, Christian education that prepares children not just for academics, but for life.

“Every upgrade was made with our students’ development in mind,” said Dr. Brian Bolden, Director of Student Success. “We believe in cultivating greatness in each of our students — in both academics and character development. We are excited and ready for an enriching year of growth for our scholars and their families.”

The Academy of Scholars prides itself on its personalized attention to students — not the one-size-fits-all approach of mega school-districts where concerns can get lost in distant office buildings. The school is accredited by the Atlanta Area Association of Independent Schools, the Georgia Accrediting Commission, and the Georgia Independent School Association.

Students come to The Academy of Scholars from 40 zip codes in the greater Atlanta area based on its reputation for a safe campus, disciplined classrooms, stellar academics, and an emphasis on Christian virtues.
