Atlanta Youth Academies provide an academically rigorous Christian education for
children and youth who come from circumstances in which growing up can be filled
with trouble and lost opportunity. At AYA, students are prepared to succeed as learners
and thinkers, as action-oriented leaders, and as persons of moral character and
spiritual strength.
In just a decade, AYA has demonstrated what committed individuals can accomplish
– families who sacrifice so their children can attend; faculty and stuff who would
not want to work anywhere else; community supporters whose generosity supplies 93%
of the annual operating budget.
Every child receives a quality education that instills the joy of learning and opens
doors to lifelong opportunity. Just as important, AYA students absorb a powerful
sense of purpose and conviction about serving. They understand life as a gift to
be fully realized, never trivialized.
Their AYA experience culminates during the middle school/junior high years. This
is a time when many youth become distracted, lethargic, cynical or otherwise unproductive.
In these same years, AYA students are attaining social, intellectual and spiritual
maturity. They do not fear to be different, knowing that this is what leadership
requires.
