Happy Monday, Titans! 🎡Take a look at what our 11th and 12th grade Dual Enrollment Statistics students have been up to! Students in Dr. McCracken’s class transformed the Titan Center into a carnival, designing and building their own games based on statistical probability. 🎯📊 Even better, younger students were invited to join in the fun and test their luck at each station, bringing learning to life in the most exciting way! And yes… one lucky game even included the chance to pie Coach Croffie in the face 😄🥧 Hands-on learning, creativity, and a whole lot of fun… just another great day at LOA!

Happy First Day of Spring! 🌸 Our 4th graders took full advantage of the beautiful weather and brought their writing workshop outside to enjoy the first day of spring. Students worked together editing and revising their partners’ writing while putting our newly purchased outdoor picnic tables to great use. A special thank you to our LOA Foundation and families whose generous support made these tables possible. 💛Fresh air, collaboration, and learning in action. It is a great day to be a Titan.

Throwback Thursday ☀️This week’s crisp weather has us reminiscing about this very same week in 2024, filled with sunshine, laughter and a perfect day on the playground. There's something special about spring at LOA. The slides feel faster, the smiles feel bigger, and the friendships grow just as quickly as everything else this time of year. Moments like these remind us that learning doesn’t just happen inside four walls. It happens in shared laughter, teamwork on the climbing structures, and joy under the open sky. Here’s to more sunshine and more days like this. 💙

Pre-K Dino Day was DINO-mite at LOA! 🦖✨ From the moment students arrived to a carline full of surprise (hello, inflatable dinosaurs! 👀🦕), the day was packed with hands-on fun and learning. Our youngest Titans became paleontologists for the day, digging for fossils, creating their own dinosaur imprints in clay, and exploring the world of dinosaurs through creative play. Of course, no Dino Day is complete without a few yummy treats to celebrate 🦖💚 It was a day full of imagination, discovery, and BIG smiles!

Today, our Titans put Community, Citizenship, and Scholarship into action. 💙💛From writing notes of encouragement to staff, to planting wildflowers, painting rocks, cleaning our campus, and even helping behind the scenes in the cafeteria—our students showed what it means to serve others. We are proud to take part in Georgia’s statewide Day of Service, inspired by Teacher of the Year Rachel Kinsaul, and even more proud of the kindness, teamwork, and leadership shown by our students. At LOA, learning goes beyond the classroom. ❤️

Good morning and Happy St. Patrick’s Day from LOA! 🍀 Rumor has it… a leprechaun is on the loose and there’s a little mischief in Kindergarten as students create Lucky Charms graphs, while others are busy building rainbows in STEM. 👀✨ It’s a magical day of learning and fun across campus!

AP Environmental Science… but make it speed dating. Students in Ms. Mooney’s AP Environmental Science class recently participated in an “Energy Speed Dating” activity to learn about different alternative energy sources. Each student researched an energy source and shared its strengths, challenges, and long term potential with classmates. To make things even more fun, students created science themed pickup lines tied to their energy source. One favorite: “Are you a solar array? Because you’ve got a lot of potential.” Creative activities like this help students connect environmental science concepts with collaboration, curiosity and critical thinking.

Leadership in Action. When LOA students see a problem, they also see an opportunity to lead. Recently, middle school Student Government members partnered with high school SGA mentors to address a concern affecting younger students on campus. Through research, collaboration and a formal proposal process, the group presented a thoughtful recommendation to school leadership. This week, their work resulted in a small but meaningful improvement for our lower school students. More importantly, the experience gave these young leaders a chance to practice advocacy, problem solving and mentorship across grade levels. At LOA, leadership is not just something we talk about. It's something our students actively practice.

STEM in Action at LOA. Engineering minds were hard at work in the library. Using simple materials like craft sticks and connectors, our elementary students took on a design challenge: Build a structure that stands tall, stays stable and work as a team.
Students were busy testing hypotheses, exploring balance and stability, discovering why triangles create stronger structures, problem solving when structures toppled, and collaborating to revising their designs. There were cheers when towers stood tall and thoughtful regrouping when gravity won the round! At LOA, STEM begins early. We believe hands-on exploration builds confident thinkers, creative problem solvers and future innovators. Learning by doing. Building by thinking. Growing together.

One School. One Mission. One Titan.
Did you know, each year our second graders step into the high school science lab for a hands-on learning experience they will never forget? Invited by our high school students and faculty, our youngest scientists have the opportunity to handle real microscopes, examine specimen, and even get a close-up look at the tools used in advanced biology labs. For our elementary students, this is exciting and inspiring. For our high schoolers, it’s an opportunity to lead, mentor and model curiosity in action. This is what makes LOA special: Learning here is not isolated by grade level. It is connected, collaborative and rooted in relationships. Our students grow up seeing what comes next and our older students grow by helping lead the way. From second grade microscopes to advanced lab work, we are ONE Titan community.

Bringing History to Life 📚🎶The assignment: Write a song about the Cold War, set to a childhood tune. In Dr. Teal’s class, students took on the challenge of transforming complex historical content into creative, memorable performances. By pairing key Cold War concepts with familiar melodies, students demonstrated not only content mastery but also critical thinking, collaboration and communication skills. From superpower tensions to major events and global impact, these performances showed a deep understanding of the era, all delivered with confidence and creativity! This is what active learning looks like at LOA. Engaged students. Meaningful rigor. Learning that sticks. 💙
