Your child is an individual.

What if a school actually treated (and taught) them like that were true?

We believe in academic excellence at Morgan. We also believe that kids are their own swirling universes with interests, hopes, dreams and anxieties. 

​

Each day begins with a morning meeting with a dedicated homeroom teacher to foster connection and preparation for learning. While most of the day is spent in those cross-age classrooms learning literacy, math, and social studies, students engage in communal activities like breaks, lunch, and projects. We partner with local teachers-in-residence to provide enrichment experiences such as art, music, permaculture, STEAM, and more.  Additionally, buddy time promotes leadership and kindness among peers.

Our Classes

What We Learn

MATH

Our math curriculum prioritizes conceptual understanding over memorization. Through applied, hands-on activities, students tackle real-world problems and collaborate to identify patterns and make discoveries. By emphasizing problem-solving, financial literacy, and teamwork, we cultivate mathematicians and mitigate stereotype threats faced by students of color in their educational journey.

LITERACY

The world needs voracious , curious readers from every background, so our curriculum adapts to every child. Some students focus on  foundational literacy instruction, while others participate in book clubs and other inquiry-based projects. Proficient learners collaborate with peers, while those needing additional support receive targeted instruction in evolving small groups. This promotes equity and fosters a culture of trust and acceptance.

ENRICHMENT

We collaborate with teachers for a semester at a time, forming partnerships with businesses and organizations like InterAtlanta FC and the YMCA. Together, we ensure every child has the chance to explore and deepen their interests. Whether it's carpentry, pottery, dance, or computer classes, our curriculum offers a rich tapestry of experiences. Each classroom eagerly embraces new and exciting enrichment activities daily.

ANTI-RACISM

Every child can be a socially conscious member of the community. We believe in actively challenging biases, dismantling systemic injustices, and fostering an environment where every student feels seen, valued, and empowered. Through a diverse range of literature, history, and social studies materials, students thoughtfully examine race, privilege, and identity to encourage open dialogue, empathy, and advocacy.
