Threshing Floor Academy
Threshing Floor Academy of Arts and Sciences, Inc. was established in January of 2008 with the mission of empowering families and children and equipping them with the skills and resources needed to effectively identify and pursue their God given purpose in life. The mission of Threshing Floor Academy of Arts and Sciences, Inc. is currently accomplished through the provision of private and small group art and music classes as well as an Arts in Schools Program and Authors in Schools Program that is made available to children and families residing in the City of Atlanta, Fulton County, Dekalb County and surrounding areas.
The Threshing Floor Academy Arts in Schools Program and Authors in Schools Program was established out of the founder's desire to assist schools serving children from low-income homes, in addition to starting a school of her own. Through these programs, Threshing Floor Academy partners with schools and child development centers that serve a large number of children from low-income households to provide quality and exceptional learning experiences to students. Such experiences work to enhance the current curriculum of each school.
Over time the academy will evolve into a full fledged school that will be family focused with a heavy emphasis on the arts, community service, purpose identification and pursuit. Through the use of a comprehensive curriculum aimed at teaching the whole child and through the provision of highly effective programming for families and children, Threshing Floor Academy will continue it's mission of empowering and equipping families and children with the tools and skills needed to identify and pursue their God given purpose in life. The school will house a School Partnership and Education Enhancement Center that will continue working to help enhance the curriculum of surrounding public schools and child development centers through the continuation of Arts in Schools and Authors in Schools Programming. The school will also house a Family Empowerment Center that will offer comprehensive programming to families from low-income backgrounds who reside in Fulton and Dekalb Counties. With the understanding that children are more likely to reach their full potential when supported by healthy and nurturing families and communities, services provided through the Family Empowerment Center and the School Partnerships and Education Enhancement Center will lay the foundation for the tremendous academic, spiritual, and social success that is projected to be attained by students attending the academy.
