Monroe Country Day School’s philosophy promotes students shedding their indoor lifestyles and giving them, as a part of every day, plenty of exposure to fresh air, pure sunlight, and unstructured play. With Monroe’s growth over the last 90 years, our historic school building is now located i…

The end of the school year always feels like a sprint to the finish line at the end of a marathon. We’ve pushed past the runner’s block, we’re so close to the end, and we’re giving everything we’ve got to finish strong. And when we finish we can relax and revel in our accomplishments.

I love living in the southeast where we enjoy the climate changes that come with experiencing four seasons. In the winter it is impossible to see all that is taking place beneath the surface to create the beautiful new blooms that arrive with spring. The arrival of spring signifies new in so…

Thank you to the many veterans who contributed to George Walton Academy’s “I Did It For You” — a 12-week interdisciplinary, intensive study of the Vietnam War.

This past week was Engineers Week, which celebrates how engineers make a difference by creating innovations and encourages children to think like engineers. Engineering simply means that we look at problems and try to solve them using creative thinking. Creative problem solving is a much nee…

Dr. Seuss offered valuable insight when he said,

This is the third of three articles that offer context for George Walton Academy’s commitment to Character. Community. Opportunity. You may remember that I have already written about community and opportunity. Today, I’d like to share thoughts about character.

If we as educators are doing our job well, we are always looking for ways to make our students more successful. The New Year gives us a perfect opportunity to look back at our accomplishments and challenges and see what we have learned. At Monroe Country Day School we have been making lists …

December. As the song aptly states, “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year.” The days leading up to Christmas are filled with celebration as we attend plays and band/choral concerts, bake our favorite treats, binge-watch cheesy Hallmark movies, and decorate our homes in a way that embodie…

Believe me. I understand. You barely have time to catch your breath during the holidays. This season is filled with busy days and long to do lists. And although it all seems to go by in a blur, there are certain things we always remember.

Thanksgiving is next week! Images of Pilgrims come to mind. The Pilgrims were seekers. They were seeking religious freedom. They sailed to Holland and spent 10 years there before a group of them became disenchanted with the society. So they boarded the Mayflower and set sail for America. The…

I say over and over I want Monroe Country Day School students to love learning. I want students everywhere to run into school with the same excitement they run into Disney World. I often laugh at myself because I can certainly say I did not enter Latin class with the same desire that I enter…

One of the places in our school that all of our students love to visit the most is our library. They like the warm atmosphere created by our media specialist, Mrs. Brandi Bourbonnais, and they love to explore all of the books we have to read. Mrs. Bourbonnais writes about her special place a…

In 1912 Jim Brown won the decathlon event in the Olympic Games. A decathlon is an event that comprises 10 track and field events under the guise of one Olympic heading.

Imagine you’re 16 years old and your day begins with a stroll through a spectacular museum in Barcelona, studying masterpieces created by some of the greatest artists in the world. After a hands-on culinary lesson that concludes with a delicious almuerzo (lunch) of authentic Spanish cuisine,…

Covenant’s theme for this 2017-2018 school year is, “Be the light.” Matthew 5:14 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.” We love seeing how a theme resonates with our students throughout the year. I can’t wait to see the impact that they make in our world b…

At Loganville Christian Academy, we’ve often heard it said people love the atmosphere or culture of our school. We recognize it isn’t something that just happens, but rather we must be intentional in our conversations.

The beginning of every school year is a new opportunity. Students and teachers not only get to start fresh with classes and activities, but as a school community, we also get a chance to reflect on where we’ve been and where we’d like to go in the future. At George Walton Academy, we strive …

May is a busy month. It is full of final exams and high school graduations.

Covenant Christian Academy was blessed recently by the Ugandan Thunder Children’s Choir.

When a new headmaster arrives, everyone always has questions for the “new guy.”

Recently our students donated materials and partnered with Clyde's Kitchen at Crossroads Ministries in downtown Atlanta to make sandwiches for their homeless ministry. As they made the sandwiches, our students also learned a valuable lesson on serving others.
