At the Ron Clark academy, learning is taking a different turn. A video of students dancing in sync with their principal has gone viral, putting this institution on the map but their nontypical form of education goes far beyond that. Not your typical educational facility, this school strives for it's students to reach standards of excellence by unusual means. Every classroom comes with a theme that is inspired from the Hogwarts school in Harry Potter.
Dragons, bungee jumps and singing in math class are just a few of the elements that make this academy unique. Students are held to a code of respect for themselves and their peers. Eye contact, shaking hands and speaking up in class are all requirements to this education. These strategies paired with loving, caring and positive teachers encourage these students to be the best they can.
Many of the students have received scholarships for their high school years and almost all have gone on to college. Ron Clark's goal is for all of his students, many of whom come from low income backgrounds, to leave their experience here with a confidence to change the world.
