Mission Academy is a small Christian private school in Waleska, Georgia. We serve grades K-12. We are so excited to welcome our students and help them grow academically, spiritually, emotionally, and socially.

Learn the Mission Academy Difference
We don’t want to be like public schools because the public schools already exist. We are here for the children that need something different.
When developing the curriculum and format for Mission Academy, we didn’t take anything for granted. Every child is different, so why do we feel the need to put children in a group that never changes? Grade levels are fluid at Mission Academy. A typical third grader may be in fourth grade reading, second grade math, and third grade social studies. Grade levels aren’t permanent either. If a student makes tremendous gains in a subject area, we will move them to a more appropriate level for the next quarter.
We don’t teach to the test at Mission Academy because we don’t believe that students are defined by their performance on a standardized test. We evaluate students on their knowledge and performance in a given subject area, but we also are looking for indicators of emotional and spiritual growth. We want to see our students thrive in a place where a grade on a test doesn’t dictate their self-esteem or their self-efficacy. When parents request that a student be tested, we will oblige, but there is no “testing week” at Mission Academy.
Here are a few of the things that set us apart:
–60 minutes of recess each day
–No routine standardized testing
– Foreign language, art, crafting, and STEM classes weekly
