SOAR Academy, currently housed at In Focus Church in Evans, was a finalist for the $1 million YASS Prize, which was awarded Dec. 14 in New York City.
“I am so happy for my kids,” said Kenisha Skaggs, who founded SOAR Academy 12 years ago.
A microschool is an independent learning center. Skaggs calls the private academy a “one room schoolhouse” with a family feel.
