Academe of The Oaks

It is no small task to put on a play in only three weeks. Our seniors demonstrated their acting skills with a wonderful performance of Uncle Vanya this past Friday and Saturday.

From rehearsals and set preparation to final performances on stage, students dedicated themselves fully to the production process.

Thank you to the seniors and Dr. Alldritt for this beautiful gift to the Academe community, and to Mr. Painter Hayes for his support of the production.

Today is the last day to support the Academe Flower Power Fundraiser!

If you have been thinking about placing an order, there is still time. Thank you to everyone who has already supported Academe through this fundraiser.

Congratulations on a successful season, Firebirds!

The girls’ team finished second in the State after an impressive tournament run. They defeated Maynard Jackson 13-1 in the quarterfinals and Midtown High School 11-6 in the semifinals before facing Paideia in the finals.

The boys’ team showed determination throughout the tournament, finishing 9th in the Varsity division while competing against larger programs and managing a limited roster.

It was a great season for both teams.

Thank you to Coach Alan Reeves for his leadership and commitment to the program. We also thank assistant coaches Malcom Reeves and Richard Whitcomb, and for her support as team parent.

On Saturday, April 25, Academe junior Nathaniel Jackson joined finalists from the Atlanta Urban Debate League at the Annual John R. Lewis Argumentative Speech Bowl Showcase at Emory University.

Students were challenged to deliver persuasive speeches supported by evidence and focused on improving public policy in arts and culture, transportation, or education.

Nathaniel chose to address arts and culture, speaking to the importance of creativity and connection in today’s world.

“Culture and the Arts have this importance in modern society because they are capable of promoting both individuality and solidarity at once, ultimately helping people express who they are while also strengthening the communities they belong to.”

We are proud to see our students using their voices, critical thinking, and leadership to engage with the issues shaping society.
