Charter schools have more flexibility in their curriculum and operations, allowing them to innovate while still being held accountable for student achievement. A Charter School is a Public School.

Ovation Arts School is more than just a place to learn; it’s a vibrant community where creativity and academic excellence thrive together. What sets us apart from other local schools is our unique focus on integrating a Liberal Arts curriculum with a comprehensive Visual and Performing Arts program. We believe that every student should have the opportunity to explore their creative potential while building a strong academic foundation.

The Charter Planning Committee is actively researching locations that are centrally located within the service area to best serve our proposed student population. Once a site has been selected and all necessary approvals for occupancy have been obtained, the Planning Committee will make a formal announcement.

Ovation Arts School is applying to be authorized by the State Charter Schools Commission of Georgia. This means we will operate under SCSC’s oversight and are held accountable to meet the state’s academic, operational, and financial standards. Being authorized by SCSC allows Ovation Arts School to operate as a public charter school with flexibility in our curriculum and school model while still adhering to the district’s rigorous standards for educational quality and accountability. The SCSC provides oversight and support to ensure that we meet the needs of our students and community.

In the first year, Ovation Arts School will serve sixth and seventh grades. Our plan is to expand by adding a new grade level each year until we matriculate through 12th grade, ensuring students receive a continuous and progressive educational experience and preparing them for high school graduation.

Our non-traditional school operations further distinguish us. With a year-round calendar and a four-day school week, students have the flexibility to pursue deeper learning experiences, engage in hands-on activities, and develop a love for learning both inside and outside the classroom. Each Friday, students enjoy blended asynchronous learning and experiential field studies, allowing them to connect their studies to real-world experiences and grow as independent learners. School will start a 9am and dismiss at 4pm.

Yes, as a public charter school, attendance at Ovation Arts School is free for all students. There are no tuition or fees, and students receive the same state-funded support as traditional public school students.

A charter school authorizer is like a regulatory body that grants a school the charter (or permission) to operate. They hold the school accountable to specific goals, like academic performance and financial management, and ensure that the school is fulfilling its mission and serving students effectively. The authorizer monitors the school's progress and can renew or revoke the charter based on performance. At Ovation Arts School, our authorizer will ensure that we meet the highest standards so your child receives the best education possible. We are applying to the State Charter Schools Commission of Georgia.
