Absolutely! New Generation Academy is accredited by the Georgia Accrediting Commission and has earned their highest classification: "Accredited with Quality."

New Generation Academy is a non-profit organization governed by a volunteer Board of Directors. We are a Christ-centered community with a long history of supporting homeschool families in the Metro Atlanta area. Our primary goal is to provide the unique support that your family needs.

Yes, our classes are real. We offer courses for Pre-K through high school and adhere to the Georgia requirements for math, science, social studies, and language arts. Students who complete all of the requirements and graduate from NGA obtain an official high school diploma from the state of Georgia. Our teachers are highly qualified, with the majority having degrees and/or teaching experience. Be assured, students work hard at NGA. During their time at NGA, students are assigned homework regularly, write papers, create hands-on projects, study diligently, and complete the courses of rigor necessary to enter the college of your choice.

New Generation Academy is a Christian School. Though our curriculum are strong choices for all our students, we dedicate a few minutes each day to focus on the Word of God. Our elementary students have hands-on activities, and our middle and high school students take part in devotions. Our Statement of Faith (found in our Parent/Student Handbook) lists our beliefs, including that the Bible itself, as the inspired and infallible Word of God that speaks with final authority concerning truth, morality, and the proper conduct of mankind, is the sole and final source of all that we believe.

Under the supervision of our Board of Directors, New Generation Academy (NGA) offers an affordable and enriching two-day per week college preparatory program which emphasizes sound study skills and habits. Our goal is to provide a solid educational platform for our students at a reasonable price. We offer classes for PreK through high school in math, language arts, science, social studies, as well as foreign language. Small classes and close association with supportive teachers help contribute to an academic environment in which a student can gain subject knowledge as well as academic confidence and self-esteem in a positive environment.

Though local public schools usually begin in August and end in May, at NGA, a typical school year consists of meeting on Tuesdays and Thursdays during the 8-month school calendar from September through April. Classes are typically offered from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on both days. During the school year, our break days, which often fall in line with the Fayette County and Clayton County School Systems, include days off for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Spring Break. At the beginning of each school year, NGA families are given a copy of the school calendar, which include school breaks, townhall meeting days, special events days, and other important calendar days.

NGA follows an eight-month school year schedule. Classes begin the first week of September and end the last week of April. Having four-month summers allows families time to explore other educational goals such as student electives and community service. Additionally, our school calendar includes break days for holidays, such as Thanksgiving and Christmas, as well as Spring Break in April.

As stated in our Parent/Student Handbook, as a general rule, New Generation Academy follows the open/delayed - start/closure status of the Fayette County and Clayton County School Systems. In the event of inclement weather, members of our leadership team will check the appropriate weather sources for school closure information. If schools in Fayette County or Clayton County are closed or delayed, we will follow accordingly. Parents will be notified as soon as possible for school meeting/closing updates.

Though we meet only two days per week, at NGA we try to incorporate events and times that allow us to come together to celebrate as a family. For example, at Thanksgiving, we have our Annual Potluck Dinner where each family brings a holiday dish or two to share with other families. On this day, we have a half day of classes prior to our dinner and the remainder of the day is filled with food, fun, and fellowship. Families are allowed to invite immediate family members, such as grandparents to join us. At Christmas, we enjoy a holiday brunch and allow the students to participate in a gift exchange. Other days include Pajama Day, Valentine’s Day, and our Annual End of the Year Pizza Party Award Ceremony.
