About us
Purpose Built Schools Atlanta partners with Atlanta Public Schools to support three neighborhood schools in South Atlanta: Slater Elementary School, Price Middle School, and Carver STEAM Academy. By offering a complete PreK - 12 pipeline of neighborhood schools, we provide a consistent, positive experience for students as they make their way through grade school. We believe that every school in Atlanta can thrive–no matter the zip code– when students have the support and enrichments needed to unlock their full potential. Our coursework is rigorous and engaging for all of our students, offering project-based learning, advanced placement (AP) courses, a STEAM curriculum, small group instruction, Saturday school, and targeted interventions. Through project-based learning (PBL), students gain knowledge and skills by working for an extended period of time to investigate an engaging real-life problem. This approach helps make learning come alive, boosts confidence and creativity, and prepares students for future careers. PBSA’s innovative model includes an extended school day in order to incorporate enrichment opportunities within the school day. With enrichments like band, dance, chess, sports, art and robotics, our schools are places where scholars can explore a variety of subjects to discover their full potential and learn what they truly love to do. We offer programs specifically designed to help children love learning and have a sense of possibility beyond school. These include after school programs, field trips and internship opportunities for high school students. We engage outside the school walls to support students and families with holistic wraparound services including mental health counseling, social-emotional learning support, legal services, and access to fresh food.

Thanks to the PBSA-AVLF partnership at Slater Elementary School, Price Middle School, Carver STEAM Academy, and previously Thomasville Heights Elementary School, our schools and students are more stable than ever. We enjoyed hosting the Atlanta Volunteer Lawyers Foundation team recently for their annual Carver Cluster Community Tour. Thanks also to our partners at COR and FCS - Focused Community Strategies for all the ways you support our schools and students!

PBSA schools offer Advanced Pathways, a program that places students in advanced courses as early as 5th grade. Students are challenged intellectually and engaged in extracurricular activities. Advanced Pathways scholars have the opportunity to go on an annual trip, all expenses paid. Recent year's cohorts have flown to NYC, Boston and Costa Rica. https://ow.ly/NCa150Ttt0Y

PBSA would be nowhere without our dedicated team! Our caring staff comes to school every day excited to help students discover their potential. We approach professional development and training for our team from a completely different perspective than traditional schools. We support and cultivate leaders within our schools, and every teacher in our schools receives trauma-informed care training.

Our schools are positive places where students want to be. Each school has a Community and Caregiver Engagement Manager who cultivates relationships with caregivers, keeping them informed and engaged. We also offer several mentoring programs that connect our students to caring adults at school who can guide them through challenges and opportunities.

Our schools use a high quality curriculum that features project-based learning (PBL) and incorporates science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM). Through PBL, students gain knowledge and skills by working for an extended period of time to investigate an engaging real-life problem. This approach helps make learning come alive, boosts confidence and creativity, and prepares students for future careers.
