Global Academies Charter School (GA), is a Kindergarten through eighth-grade school with two wonderful small learning communities located in West and Southwest Philadelphia. We have 1300 scholars who attend our schools and over 200 teachers and staff. GA is a holistic teaching and learning environment. Our goal is to provide a solid educational program through global studies and leadership in an effort to develop future leaders of the world.
The impact of COVID-19 has been hard for GA parents and scholars. The population of children we serve is at or below the federal poverty guideline and 90% of our scholars are from high-poverty neighborhoods and qualify for free or reduced lunch. Therefore, the economic impact of the pandemic we are currently experiencing is having an even greater impact on the families we serve.
Despite our current crisis, GA continues to provide a world-class education for our students, but we need your support now more than ever. This #GivingTuesday, we are raising money to continue our global expeditions program and ensure all scholars and staff have the necessary digital tools, internet access, and technology needed to ensure that our teachers and 1300 scholars stay connected to us, and maintain access to online learning while we are implementing our remote learning program.
We are grateful for your financial support of our school, our scholars, our teachers, and our staff.
Thank you,
Dr. Naomi Johnson Booker, CEO
