Learning Academy of Northwest Georgia
Dalton State College is collaborating with the LEARNING Foundation of Georgia to develop a new tuition-free charter school – the Learning Academy of Northwest Georgia. With an anticipated opening in fall 2027, the Learning Academy of Northwest Georgia will serve families seeking a classical yet innovative education for their children. The Learning Academy of Northwest Georgia will provide an innovative teacher preparation opportunity for students in Dalton State College’s School of Education.
About the Learning Academy of Northwest Georgia
The Learning Academy of Northwest Georgia will be a regular school with its own, dedicated teachers, but through the collaboration with Dalton State College, faculty and researchers from a wide range of disciplines will be able to contribute their expertise and provide innovative instructional programs that pioneer teaching advancements and shape the future of learning. In addition, the school will be a learning environment where future educators can develop their skills in authentic and diverse classroom settings, alongside master teachers. This approach reduces the teacher-to-student ratio and allows instructors to meet students’ individual needs more easily. With a goal of delivering educational excellence for every child, this approach will enhance teacher preparation for area public schools currently served by the Dalton State School of Education.
