WHAT WE BELIEVE

THE TEACHERS, ADMINISTRATORS AND STAFF AT CAMBRIDGE ACADEMY /
 

A CHILD'S CAMPUS ARE UNITED IN THEIR BELIEF THAT ALL CHILDREN:

 

  • HAVE THE POWER TO LEARN

  • ARE CURIOUS & CREATIVE

  • CAN SUCCEED
     

No two students have exactly the same skills or learning style. That’s why we create an individual learning plan for every child. Your plan will combine direct instruction, small-group work, and one-on-one tutoring in a way that works for your student.


 

Cambridge Academy is an affordable, tuition-based private day school for students who are highly academically motivated and in need of a stimulating, supporting and nurturing learning environment. Cambridge Academy has been educating students from ages 2 years to 5th grade since 1960.

The Georgia Accrediting Commission, Inc. accredits the school with quality from Pre-Kindergarten to 5th grade.

By enrolling your child at Cambridge Academy, you will create the foundation for a lifetime of success. Every child will be held to the same standards and all children will receive a challenging, stimulating and substantial education.

Cambridge Academy strives to create a school environment that allows the students to develop a strong sense of self that will serve as the foundation for effective learning. Our goal is to provide a balanced education that places equal emphasis on developing the students’ academic and social abilities.

At Cambridge Academy we will:

​

  • Nurture the spiritual life of the child.

 

  • Develop a strong work ethic in the children by setting challenging goals for students to achieve, developing intrinsic motivation, and focusing on the quality of work as well as the completion of tasks.

 

  • Nurture, love, and respect the children while allowing them to grow and develop at their own pace.

 

  • Recognize that children learn in a variety of ways. The curriculum is designed to foster strengths of a wide range of learning styles.

​

  • Provide an open atmosphere that is appealing to individuals from all cultures.

 

  • Build strong parent-teacher relationships for the education of the children.

 

  • Provide an excellent educational option for the greater community.

THE ENVIRONMENT

Cambridge Academy strongly believes that the school environment has a significant impact on learning. We follow the Effective Schools Research as a guide to help create a positive learning environment. The specific elements of an effective school are:

 

  • *A Clear School Mission.
     

  • High Expectations for Success.
     

  • Instructional Leadership.
     

  • Frequent Monitoring of Student Progress.
     

  • The Opportunity to Learn.
     

  • Time on Task.
     

  • A Safe and Orderly Environment.
     

  • Positive Home-School Relations.
     


Inside the classroom, the atmosphere is calm and minimal distractions allow students to focus on learning. They are engaged and energized by personal productivity, close interaction with the teacher, and a brisk but comfortable pace. Teachers ensure equal student participation during class, requiring all to remain alert and attentive. Consistent individual assessment provides opportunities for positive reinforcement as well as suggestions designed to enhance skills. Outside of the classroom, students flourish among their peers. Appropriate dress in the mandated school uniform, uplifting language, and demonstration of healthy social habits combine to provide a wholesome atmosphere. Kindness, integrity, wisdom, and an appreciation for education are evident at the Cambridge Academy campus.
