Private Schools

Peachtree Academy began as a school of early childhood development that quickly progressed into an outstanding private school choice for parents in our community. Because of the commitment to excellence in education, parents realized the importance of great teacher interaction and smaller class sizes to their child’s success in the classroom. The level of dedication from staff members has made Peachtree Academy a strong competitor in the private school market in Atlanta. We have assembled a top team of educators who are passionate about teaching and given them the tools to do the very best job in preparing our students for success. Each year, since our inception in 2001, we have added one grade level per year until 2011, when we added 10th and 11th grade because of demand. We added our final grade in the 2012-2013 school year, completing the High School experience for students. Our commitment to the future is to offer a full array of academic, athletic, and fine arts opportunities beginning in Pre-School and continuing through the 12th grade.

Young Americans Christian School was founded in 1988 by families who desired a comprehensive quality Christian education for their children. The school began with twenty-four preschool students who met in a local church facility. With overwhelming support from the school community, additional grade levels were soon added. In keeping with the founders’ desire to provide exceptional education within a Christian framework, the school became a member of the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) in 1991.
Presently the school accommodates students K4 through 12th grade. Through God’s blessing, the school has grown from twenty-four students to over 500 students making Young Americans Christian School the largest private school in Rockdale and Newton counties. In 2020 the school was voted “Best Christian School” by the Readers Choice Award for Rockdale and Newton counties. Young Americans Christian School still remains a non-denominational, non-profit, independent Christian school providing educational excellence within a Christian worldview.
