DeKalb Brilliance Academy:

We are a tuition-free, public Kindergarten-8th grade South DeKalb charter school enrolling grades K-3 in 2023 and K-4 in 2024 (adding a grade per year until the school is K-8).

Our school empowers students to be leaders through combining rigorous & relevant academics with social-emotional learning. We put all of this together through our Real-world Project-based Learning, where students learn not only from their teachers and peers, but also directly from scientists, lawyers, engineers, and designers.
