  • Drew Educators Receive Distinguished Awards

    We are most pleased to share absolutely outstanding news about two members of our Drew Family!  Yesterday, at the 2019 Georgia Charter Schools Conference, Peter McKnight, our Senior Academy Principal, was named recipient of the Shoot for the Moon (Georgia Charter School Leader of the Year) Award, and Ms. Jasmine Dennard, second grade Elementary Academy teacher, was named recipient of the Reach for the Stars (Georgia Charter School Teacher of the Year) Award. 

    We are doubly exuberant that Mr. McKnight and Ms. Dennard were recognized for their exceptional excellence with the acclaimed distinction of world-class charter school leader and teacher of the year, respectively, by the Georgia Charter Schools Association.  As award winners, both recipients were commended for continually going above and beyond the call of duty.  We are energized to know that the phenomenal work of Drew leaders and teachers continues to be acknowledged and highlighted through the broader educational community.

    Please join me in extending heartfelt congratulations to Mr. McKnight and Ms. Dennard on these most notable accomplishments!

Innovative Curriculum

STEAM and Project-Based Learning

STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) is Drew Charter School’s map to a successful academic experience for its students. Learning is a STEAM environment, coupled with Project-Based Learning (PBL), sets the stage for students to solve real-world problems.

Students are taught with an interdisciplinary approach with an emphasis on the design thinking process and problem solving leading to application. This allows Drew students to develop skills such as critical thinking, collaboration, communication and creativity, all important abilities needed for success in the 21st century.

Technology that Enables Learning

Technology is integrated across all disciplines, including the arts. Drew features SMART Boards (interactive whiteboards) in every learning space and students in the Junior and Senior Academies have 1:1 laptops to further personalize teaching and learning.

Advanced Academics

Drew offers diverse educational opportunities. These range from Analytic Geometry and Advanced Placement Human Geography to extracurricular activities including debate, mock trail, and an academic decathlon. Teachers also offer integrated courses in Business Technology and Engineering along with Biology and Visual Arts.
