School leadership

Head of School - Dorian Williams

Welcome to Atlanta College Preparatory Academy.

Our school is built on three words: Excellence, Leadership, and Legacy. We want every student to leave us ready for college and ready to lead, whether they learn with us online, in person, or both.

Every student in grades 9 through 12 takes a Business Planning class and a Public Speaking class. We do this to create tomorrow's leaders. Our goal is that every student who graduates from Atlanta College Preparatory Academy will one day own a business.

Our students are athletes and scholars with big plans. We work to give each of them a strong academic record and the support to reach their goals, including the chance to compete in college sports.

Parents are our partners in this work. Our family portal gives you one place to follow your student's courses, attendance, and progress, and our office is always glad to hear from you.

I invite you to look around, ask questions, and see whether our school is the right fit for your family.

Required for every student in grades 9-12

We do this to create tomorrow's leaders. Each class lasts one semester and has four levels, one for each year of high school. Our goal is that every graduate will one day own a business.

  • Business PlanningStudents take an idea to a written plan and a pitch, then run a small venture, with four levels in all.
  • Public SpeakingStudents learn to speak with confidence, explain hard ideas, and make a case, with four levels in all.

AI for every student, from kindergarten to grade 12

Artificial intelligence is part of the world our students will work in. We teach them how it works, how to use it wisely, and how to build with it. Teachers lead, parents are told exactly what we do, and students do their own thinking.

Coming soon We are starting with a pilot in spring 2027 and opening AI courses to all students in the 2027-28 school year.

Every grade takes a step up

  • Kindergarten to grade 2 AI Explorers Games, stories, and sorting activities that show how computers follow rules and learn from examples. No screens needed.
  • Grades 3 to 5 AI Detectives Students investigate how machines learn, tell real from generated, and learn to stay safe online. The teacher runs every demonstration.
  • Grades 6 to 8 AI Literacy How AI works, why it can be unfair or wrong, and how to check its answers, using school-approved tools with a teacher present and parent permission.

High school AI electives

  • Grades 9-12 AI Literacy and Ethics What AI is, how models learn, where bias and privacy problems come from, and how to form and defend a position on a real AI question.
  • Grades 10-12 AI for Entrepreneurs Use AI honestly to find an opportunity, know a customer, build a brand, and pitch a business, and learn what only a person can decide.
  • Grades 10-12 Data and Machine Learning Basics How data becomes decisions. Students use spreadsheets, charts, and no-code tools to build and test a simple model.
  • Grades 11-12 AI Capstone Studio Small teams solve a real problem for a real client, test for bias and privacy, and present at Pitch Day.

Every family can read how we use AI. No student uses an AI tool without parent permission, and students who opt out do equal work that does not need one.

College sports and NCAA eligibility

Student-athletes who want to compete at an NCAA Division I or II college need 16 approved core courses. Here is what counts.

Division I core-course requirements
Subject areaCourses (years)
English4
Math (Algebra I or higher)3
Natural or physical science (with a lab course if the school offers one)2
Extra English, math, or science1
Social science2
More courses from any area above, world language, comparative religion, or philosophy4
Total core courses16

You also need a core-course GPA of at least 2.3, and you must graduate from high school. Ten of the 16 courses must be finished before the seventh semester (the start of senior year), and seven of those ten must be English, math, or science.

Only courses on a high school's NCAA-approved core-course list count toward eligibility. Ask the school office about the NCAA approval status of a specific course. Rules can change, so check the NCAA Eligibility Center for the current requirements.
