One Step at a Time
Sometimes the vision in your mind just needs a jolt of persistence and determination to make it a reality. The vision of Peace Prep Academy was born from a need to provide quality education to students and ensuring that their needs are met. But when thinking about the whole child, education can only reach so far. The child’s life outside of school was crucial to their ability to succeed. Fast forward a year later, oaksATL was born.
The biggest challenge when educating the children at Peace was the housing crisis that seems to be happening all over the state. As homes were being renovated and communities elevated in physical appearance, the price of the homes rose. This caused a lack of stability in the children’s education, if they were displaced from their homes. OaksATL partnered with Peace Prep to acquire the properties located close to Peace Prep Academy.
With a growth mindset, Peace Prep knew that they were cultivating the class of 2028. In order to maintain the growing student body, OaksATL used the space between two of their apartment homes to make classroom space (pictured below).
