Educating Students From Kindergarten to 12 Grade, Emphasizing Critical Thinking & Financial Education
THE WARRIOR WAY
Here at The Wilson Academy, our mission is to provide an education that is valuable, adaptable, practical, and capable of empowering our students.Â
In doing so, we holistically develop high-performing students who can think critically and be competitive in their chosen fields both nationally and internationally.Â
EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING
LEARNING OUTSIDE OF THE CLASSROOM
Learning what books cannot teach
The Wilson Academy is an accredited college prep private school in Conyers, GA, but we serve all of Metro Atlanta. We educate young men and young women in grades kindergarten through twelve. With an emphasis on critical thinking skills, financial education, exposure, and personal development, The Wilson Academy consistently produces some of the country's best students!

FINANCIAL EDUCATION
In our pursuit of excellence as educators, what has been lost is our willingness to question whether what we are doing makes sense. Education must consistently be challenged and rethought. Most schools are preparing students to be part of a workforce; not to be successful individuals. Rather than cultivating critical-thinking, financially adept, calculated-risk-taking students, most schools are simply mass-producing young people who will be left with more questions than answers, ill-equipped to prove the American Dream isn't a fallacy. Perhaps the greatest flaw of the traditional school protocol is the lack of emphasis (or, in most cases, inclusion) on financial education, which is part of the reason we have a country full of people with degrees they can't use and a ton of debt. So, at The Wilson Academy, we decided to design a truly student-driven program. We listen to our students, and what we've built, we have built for our students. If a student has an idea for a club, activity, or assignment, we encourage them to present a proposal. We constantly evaluate whether what we are teaching is still relevant. We make sure that we change as the world changes while still holding on to core traditional values. In every decision we make, we ask, "Is this what is best for our students and their families?" It's our environment, our commitment, or our culture. It's the Warrior Way.
SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL WELLNESS
No matter how smart your child is, the wrong environment will keep your child from reaching his or her potential. The Wilson Academy does not accept students with behavior problems or a history of behavioral infractions, so we are a safe, bully-free environment. At The Wilson Academy, students have the chance to learn from and with staff and students who understand their needs. By enrolling your child at The Wilson Academy, you can surround him or her with students who want to be here, want to behave, and want to learn.
INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL
There's a difference between reading about the world and seeing the world. That's why The Wilson Academy has an International Travel Initiative! Every year, Warrior Students travel to different international destinations. Many of our students have been to multiple countries with us, including South Africa, Italy, Egypt, and China, just to name a few.
