Independent Pre-K to 12 School in Atlanta
The high school Science Olympiad team competed in the South Forsyth Invitational Science Olympiad Tournament. Thirty-eight teams from schools of all classifications from five states competed in an all-day online tournament. Paideia finished first in A/AA schools’ class and 14th overall.
Nineteen Paideia seniors have been honored by the National Merit Scholarship Competition and Program based on their PSAT scores.
Board chair Wayne Aaron has announced that Paideia has hired DEI consultant Al Vivian to "help the school achieve meaningful change as it relates to diversity, equity and inclusion." Vivian is president and CEO of Basic Diversity, started by his father C.T. Vivian 45 years ago. The Atlanta-based company is rated as one of the top inclusive leadership consulting firms in the industry. Vivian will begin working with the Paideia community in September.
Paideia alumna Shivani Beall ’16, who played soccer at Emory University for four years, has been selected as the University Athletic Association’s representative for the 2020 NCAA Woman of the Year Award.
Paideia School is open for virtual learning for all levels. The half day and lower elementary programs will begin on-campus learning Sept. 15 and the upper elementary will begin on-campus learning Sept. 21. The junior high and high school are scheduled to return mid-October. Paideia’s return to on-campus schooling is based on CDC guidelines and the advice of medical epidemiologists.
Our fundamental hope is to rebuild and regain trust within our community to create safe spaces for faculty and students. We hope that the community will work with the school in both our individual and institutional self-reflection. We unequivocally believe that Black Lives Matter.
