Ron Clark Academy, Atlanta, GA

The Ron Clark Academy is a new school serving low-wealth students from inner-city Atlanta. The privately-funded institution is truly unique for its innovative teaching methods and curriculum based on worldwide travel. Each year the students, grades 5 through 8, apply what they've learned in class during international adventures, and by the time they graduate each child will have visited six of the seven continents. Teachers from around the world are invited to visit the Academy to learn more about the innovative and "out-of-the-box" methods for achieving student success.
