Families that have just relocated are looking for school alternatives for their children.

Thanks.

Our partner schools, Nashville Classical Charter School, Purpose Preparatory Academy, Aurora Collegiate Academy - Memphis, and Rocketship Public Schools were ranked as the top charter elementary schools in Tennessee by U.S. News and World Report!
Mr. Wylde Aguilera joined the Aurora Collegiate Academy - Memphis team this year and is already having a major impact! As a former ESL student himself, he is able to relate to the needs and desires of our students and families on a deeper level. Aurora is lucky to have him on the team.
Thank you for joining us this week to celebrate public charter schools and their champions!
Congratulations to our School of the Year, Aurora Collegiate Academy - Memphis, our Administrator of the year Sheri Catron Cooper of Circles of Success Learning Academy, our Teacher of the Year Bryan Mann of Chattanooga Preparatory School, our Advocate of the Year Brooke Allen of Diverse Learners Cooperative, our Community Impact Project of the Year Memphis STEM Academy, and our Policy Champion of the Year Mayor John Cooper.
Thank you again to our sponsors, Hyde Family Foundation and Truist. Without you, it would not have been possible to honor these amazing leaders and advocates.

Congratulations to Aurora Collegiate Academy - Memphis, our School of the Year winner! We're so lucky to have amazing schools like you in Tennessee to celebrate.

As an educator I am saddened that you all have someone that is teaching our black and brown babies but publicly believes that because you are against police brutality then you are agaisnt police. She failed to uphold the R in PRIDE, which are the values of your school. She didn't show respect. A person was hit during protest and the only thing she could think to say was they better not ask for a police report. We can disagree on many things but I am sure we can agree that this is not the type of person that should be teaching our kids.
A sweet friend from church invited me to talk with her Kindergartners today at Aurora Collegiate Academy - Memphis! They were some very smart kiddos that were FASCINATED with tomatoes...or as most of you know them...tornadoes. 🥰
Thanks for having me out!
