At Amana Academy in Alpharetta, GA, every grade level from K-8 has a thematic focus that lasts the full school year and is integrated into each academic subject. In 8th grade, students investigate what it means to be a “changemaker” in their community by tackling real-world problems and studying how individuals throughout history have made a difference.

Terrific experience for staff and students. What a great way to increase connection amongst one another, make education relevant, and enhance a collective sense of purpose. Hope and connection...it's what our young people need more than anything these days.
