“I am a rising junior at Flowery Branch High School. Last year was my first year there, and it went amazingly — transferring schools after my freshman year was the best decision I could have made for myself, both academically and athletically. I am currently taking all college prep courses and have a 3.6 GPA. Athletically, I was named All-Region in football as a linebacker, and in track my relay team made it to states and podiumed. Looking ahead, I plan to attend college and compete at the college level in football and/or track. Sage School was a game changer for me. They provided the tools I needed to succeed academically and gave me back the confidence to believe in myself. Sage was by far my favorite school because of the teachers.”

“I am currently a student at the University of Mississippi, graduating in May 2029. With a 3.5 GPA, I am involved in campus life as well as my sorority. I am grateful to Sage for giving me the confidence to thrive while getting an education far from home.”

“I am going into my sophomore year at Hebron Christian Academy. My time at Sage gave me the skills, leadership, and ability to advocate for myself that has gotten me to where I am today. Since leaving Sage, I have won multiple academic awards as well as teacher awards. I am a third-degree black belt and now work at my karate studio. I play lacrosse at Hebron and am also on the color guard team. I volunteer at my church in the special needs area. The confidence and knowledge I gained at Sage was priceless, and I have no doubt that my ability to lead at work comes from the skills I learned during my time there.”

“I am a homeschool student graduating in 2029 or earlier, and I am a competitive swimmer, certified lifeguard, and working actor who has appeared in film, television, and commercial projects. I am passionate about storytelling and continue to pursue opportunities in the entertainment industry while balancing academics and athletics. When I’m not training, auditioning, or studying, I enjoy gaming, traveling, spending time with family and friends, and caring for my dog Hanzo. I am especially grateful to Sage for helping me grow in confidence, strengthen my academic skills, and recognize that different learning styles can be a source of strength.”

“I attended Sage School from second through fourth grade after being diagnosed with dyslexia and language disorders. Looking back, Sage is where I truly learned how to learn — it gave me the confidence and tools I needed to succeed both in and out of the classroom. I still remember my teachers by name, and I am deeply grateful for the patience, encouragement, and individualized instruction they provided during those formative years. The foundation I built at Sage not only transformed my academic journey, but it also gave me the confidence to pursue my passion for competitive gymnastics, where I trained as a Level 8 USA Gymnast while maintaining straight A’s. I recently graduated from Providence Christian Academy as an Honor Graduate with a 4.0 GPA. I served as varsity cheer captain, founded the school’s gymnastics team, and was actively involved in leadership and service throughout high school. This fall, I will attend Auburn University to pursue my lifelong dream of becoming a nurse. My family and I credit Sage School with changing the course of my life. The support I received there empowered me to overcome learning challenges, discover my strengths, and believe that with perseverance and the right guidance, anything is possible. I will always be thankful to the teachers and staff who invested in me and helped shape the person I am today.”

I am so grateful for my time at Sage which inspired me to start the AIM Academy Christian Affinity Group and serve as president. I also had the privilege of making Honor Roll and received the Gold Presidential Volunteer Service Award from the White House for philanthropy work through National Charity League and local community service. Some highlights of my high school athletic experiences are winning the first ever 2023 PJAA Soccer League Championship and a 2026 undefeated lacrosse season leading to my school’s first ever 2026 PJAA lacrosse championship. I wrapped up my senior year by completing my Senior Capstone which focused on the vast culinary regions and traditions in Spain through learning about Spain’s history and culture in the classroom and during my senior trip.

In 8th grade, I received a Fine Arts Distinguished Commitment Award in Visual Arts, and in 7th grade I earned a certificate of achievement for having the highest grade in 3D Art and Design as well as a Service Award for my volunteer hours. I made the Honor Roll for both semesters of 6th grade. As an 8th grader, I was invited to play on the High School Junior Varsity Volleyball team and played the entire season.

“Sage is a special place for me because I could relate to the students, and it is the place where I really learned to read. Sage taught be how to work hard, both in class and on the soccer field. I am proud to be dyslexic.”

This fall, we’ll start looking at colleges. My years at Sage taught me not only how to learn beyond my dyslexia, but how to be confident in learning.”

“It’s hard to describe the feeling we got when we visited Sage. It was like we had found hope. Angela and all of the teachers were so loving and selfless. They truly were there to help my child, and all the kids at Sage. They made all the kids feel ‘normal’ and safe.

Sage taught her it was ok to fail, because through failure, we learn and grow. And there’s no shame in that. Because of all of the wonderful teachers at Sage, she is now a very confident girl who is not afraid to try new things.”

“Over the three years he was at Sage, Ryan learned the skills to succeed and gained confidence in himself. The teachers at Sage not only help academically but truly understand how a dyslexic child thinks and instill in them the truth, that they are ‘fearfully and wonderfully made in God’s image’. I have watched Ryan grow more independent and confident. Thank you Sage for giving him the foundation he needed to succeed academically and spiritually. Sage is truly a blessing!”

“Reece went from daily tears coming home from her previous school, to starting Sage immediately loving school. It was an overnight transformation in her spirit.

She has maintained honor roll since graduating from Sage without additional tutoring or special treatment from the school.”

“Sage School provided me with a safe place to learn, around kids who were struggling just like me and I was taught by teachers who understand my unique way of learning. I went from dreading school to dreaming about what I could become and found success for the first time.”

“I am currently going into my junior year at Florida State University in the honors program majoring in Psychology and minoring in Developmental Disabilities. After college I hope go straight into a PhD program to get my doctorate in clinical psychology specializing in learning disabilities. Sage helped me in so many ways, and it is because of the amazing people there that my goal is to work with children with learning disabilities and neurodivergence. This summer I am also studying French in Paris which has been an amazing experience so far! Sage holds such a special place in my heart, and I don’t know where I would be without my time there today.”
