Praise Academy is a private Christian school serving the Cobb, Paulding, and Douglas counties of metro Atlanta, Georgia. Our goal is to partner with Christian families to build a Christ centered educational system and to partner with Christian families by providing an environment where students can achieve academic excellence, a life long commitment to Christ, and a passion for success.

Our goal at Praise Academy is to inspire students to learn with excellence, live with character, and love like Christ. (Luke. 2:52; Matthew 28:19)

Partnering with Christian families to provide a Christ centered educational system where students can achieve academic excellence, a life long commitment to Christ, and a passion for success.

The philosophy of Praise Academy focuses on a partnership of the home and school for the purpose of training the next generation.  To  accomplish that task, Praise Academy focuses on Kingdom education.  Kingdom education is defined as: 

• A life-long, Bible-based, Christ-centered process of leading a child to Christ (Christ-first)

• Building a child up in Christ (self-worth)

• Equipping a child to serve Christ (discipleship).  

• This spiritual development plan includes a rigorous and uncompromising academic program.

Our educational vision for our students is comparative to the painting of a portrait.  We are intentional on what we feel God wants that outcome to be..  When our students graduate, we envision that each one will possess certain portrait qualities that God reveals in His Word.  We hope and pray that our students graduate from Praise Academy with :
