Whether your child is a new student or returning student/family respect goes a long way. Instead of coming into the school yelling and screaming at the staff take time to have a conversation with your child, teacher/teachers, the principal and possibly a mediator. This will help with the transition of getting settled into new surroundings. We should be operating as a common ground. Lets come together as a community and move mountains together. Let's get a hold and ahead of situations. Once we accomplish that we can accomplish anything. With a little work great things can be accomplished.

I can't say enough great things about the experience my son had at A Unique Learning Academy. He began at age three and continued through first grade. The foundation he received has prepared him well! The administrative staff (Mr. & Mrs. Hunt) have been nothing short of amazing! They ensure that the children are loved, respected, fed well and provided the best opportunities to succeed. The teachers are also amazing and provide the structure, rigor and reinforcement critical to student success. A Unique Learning Academy has provided a foundation for my son that will last a lifetime!

The owners Mr. and Mrs. Hunt love what they do. Mr. Hunt is the cook ( good hot meals at breakfast and lunch with extra incentives for academic excellence.) Mrs. Hunt is the Director, business driven, a teacher, mother and a friend. The school only goes to 1st grade and when your child graduates they are very well prepared for 2nd grade. My son is in the 99th percentile 3rd grade 6 month level in Reading, Language Arts and Math according to the ITBS test results, My daughter was 3rd/4th grade when she graduated from AULA as well. This truly is an unique place, phonics, counting, reading comprehension, computer, karate, weekly spelling test ( not the baby words either). Learning begins at 1 years old. The children enunciate their words and are challenged to be critical thinkers. The teachers care, know the children and parents by name, The rates are reasonable in relation to the results you will see in your babies. I definitely recommend this school to all parents with babies, toddlers and young ones. This is the right path to achieve the strong foundation for your children.

We searched for positive or negative reviews prior to enrolling but didn't find anything to give us…read moreguidance. We hope this will help someone. The Wilson Academy is actually located at 2360 Covington Hwy Sw Conyers, GA they used to be located in Lithonia. Our 1st impression of the school for our 2 children was largely positive all because we meet with the wonderful Mrs. Smith (a phenomenal k-3 grade teacher) in our 1st in-person meeting. She was everything we could ask for an more in a elementary school teacher. The school seemed to be perfect and we couldn't understand why it wasn't packed with more students and a abundance of teachers/staff. We where given the speech about the owner/principal Mr. Byron and the success that he had with his own daughter that graduated at the age of 14 and attended Spellman College. After enrolling in the 2025/26 school year we where 3 months in and found out why the school wasn't talked about or had an overwhelming support from the community. It was a normal drop off morning as we were dropping off our kids to school when they were meet by a security officer that had a clip board which was of children names that hadn't paid by the due date of the 1st......so 3 days later kids were being turned away at the door that came dressed and ready for school but was being denied an education and sent back home. It was like the kids were going into a nightclub and they where being denied entry because they were on this list. You really had to be there to see this awful site. The owner wasn't there and security loudly told us that we needed to call him to get clarification. We were instructed to pull over and park and call, we called and called with our kids patiently waiting for a call back for 30 min, we finally spoke with him and told him we had planned to pay on the following day and his response was that's fine the kids can miss 1 day and it was this act of insensitivity that he portrayed that gave a perception that he was not about the kids but about the money. He was basically saying that because you were 3 days late your child can no longer be educated by his school until full payment was done. We did make the payment the same day but the damage had been done. We scrambled to get the funds and sent it by Zelle and were extremely inconvenience. According to the information that is given out when enrolling it states that after 30 days you child maybe denied entry for late and unpaid accounts. This was not our case here. We also initially asked for payments to be on a certain day but was told that we had to pay on the 1st by way of automatic debit site. If we had gotten a phone call of this prior to bringing the kids to school it would have been better than this scenario which seemed inhumane, and please understand that many kids where turned away for the same reasons (I pray their families where able to get payments in). Based off the amount we where paying and how we where treated that day we made our decision to leave. Yes there where other issues that lead up to this that we saw in the school but we overlooked to try and work with a black owner. If the head of an organization believes this is ok then we have to believe that this operation of belief sets up a horrible system that we don't want to be apart of.
