The State Charter Schools Commission (SCSC) has approved five new charter schools set to open in Fall 2025, including Columbus/Muscogee County’s first start-up and only charter school, Dominion Purpose Academy (DPA). Columbus, Georgia’s 3rd largest city by population, has long awaited this addition, as other major cities outside Atlanta like Augusta, Savannah, and Macon have had multiple charter schools serving their communities for years. DPA will not only be the first start-up charter school in Columbus, but also the only charter school within an hour's drive of the city. We are excited to see DPA offer a much-needed PUBLIC education option for families in Columbus. While the city continues to thrive with industry and opportunity, it is also home to two of Georgia’s most impoverished zip codes. The three elementary schools closest to DPA’s proposed location have 87% of their combined students scoring below grade proficiency levels in ELA, Math, and Science. One of these schools has only 5% of students reading at grade level proficiency. Now, these families will have a choice, and we are confident that DPA will be a game changer by providing access to a high-quality, innovative charter school. With over 14,000 students on wait lists for charter schools all over Georgia, bringing one to a very large community that lacks options- like Columbus- is a significant win for students and families. I can’t wait to visit Dominion Purpose Academy when it opens in Fall 2025! https://lnkd.in/eaJSMU9Q

Seeking a solution for our expanding communities 🏠🌱 In the quaint setting of Kent, notable changes are stirring. As we watch new homes sprout around Cranbrook, our thoughts naturally turn to education. With family houses come children, and with children come the responsibility to provide quality schooling 🏫. That's the clarion call echoing from the heart of Kent's picturesque countryside. Cranbrook School's esteemed headteacher has spoken out for the need to reconsider the closed High Weald Academy. His voice isn't just a lone call in the wilderness; it reflects a concern shared by many, sparked by the sharp rise in local housing developments. Surely, those echoing halls and empty classrooms could once again be filled with the sounds of learning and growth. It's not about constructing new barriers but reopening doors, using existing resources to meet very real needs. How do we balance the scales between growing populations and sustaining the quality of education? Dialogue, cooperation, and perhaps a look at what's already before us. It's not merely about a single school's capacities; it's about fostering a thriving, educated, harmonious community. Let's start a conversation 🗣️ - Do you believe in breathing new life into the existing infrastructure to support our children's education? How have population changes in your region impacted local schooling options? Join the dialogue below or reach out to explore better possibilities at rikama-education.com. Our future generations are counting on us. #Education #Community #KentSchools
