Based on nurturing a positive peer culture, FCS PEAK Academy utilizes a research-based behavioral modification model that cultivates pro-social behaviors and leadership skills through early interventions and tangible rewards. Our students earn field trips and other incentives, and learn to embrace personal accountability for behavioral and academic success in an environment that values respect, teamwork, and high standards.

In partnership with Fulton County Schools, our school helps students in grades 6-12 increase attendance rates, gain access to community resources, show demonstrated growth in reading and math, and begin to enjoy going to school every day with the goal of successfully returning to their home schools.

Our private day school provides students with:

    • Individualized instruction and progress monitoring
    • Academic rigor through data-driven instruction
    • Smaller classroom environments
    • Life skills development
    • Opportunities to foster social skills
    • Alignment with the district’s curriculum
    • Ongoing check-ins after transitioning to a less-restrictive environment

By recognizing the unique value and talent of each student, building strong relationships with them and their families, and celebrating their daily successes, we help students who haven’t been able to participate in a regular classroom setting thrive at school, at home, and in their communities.

Related services offered at this school include student government and transition and life skills programs tailored to student needs.
