Our Story Starts Here
A school built on the belief that ambitious students deserve both academic excellence and the freedom to pursue their passions.
Since 2008, Rivers Academy has pioneered a college-prep model that combines a concentrated three-day academic week with the flexibility ambitious students need to compete, perform, and explore. Our small classes, expert faculty, and personalized advising allow students to pursue their passions while excelling academically.
Rivers Academy has led the way in redefining what a private school can be. As Georgia's first fully accredited program to offer this innovative approach, Rivers created a model that supports students in academics, athletics, and the arts. From the beginning, our commitment to excellence has produced consistent results. Rivers Academy is a fully accredited private school—not a homeschool program—and all instruction is delivered on campus by highly qualified teachers.
In 2018, Rivers Academy came under the independent ownership of Deborah Beasley and Jennifer Cantor, ushering in a new era of growth and innovation. The hallmark programs and culture families recognize today were developed under their leadership. Rivers Academy is not affiliated with any other school, group or campus and maintains its own operations, ownership, and identity. We remain proud to be a single, independent community defined by our mission, vision, and unwavering commitment to student success.
Rivers Academy exists to provide a flexible, supportive, and academically rigorous environment where students thrive, build confidence, and develop essential real-world skills.
