When Ron Clark has a vision, you can be confident that it will be carried out with an impressive dedication and attention to detail. Often called a “world changer,” Clark is best known for his work to improve New York City schools but when he visited the industrial area of Southeast Atlanta he witnessed inspiration for progress. Ron’s mission is to change the lives of students from low wealth neighborhoods, so they can change the world. He and his team plan to create an education facility and green space that can benefit the entire community, acting as a catalyst for rebirth of a historic neighborhood stemming from education and revitalization. The Ron Clark Academy will be housed in a historic red brick warehouse. It will offer extensive study abroad programs, intseractive facilities and eco-friendly learning to expand the knowledge and experience of students in need. The school will serve 60 students in 5th through 8th grade.
