Ron Clark Academy

🕸️ Got their attention? Now, let’s keep it.

Every educator knows the challenge: you have a classroom full of students, a lot to teach, and only so many ways to keep them locked in.

At the RCA EXP conferences, you’ll step inside classrooms where engagement is happening in real time. See creative strategies, experience lessons from the students’ perspective, and leave with practical ideas you can bring back to your own classroom.

Come ready to learn, participate, and rediscover just how exciting teaching can be. ⚡️

📍 The Ron Clark Academy | Atlanta, GA
📅 Sept. 24–25 | Nov. 5–6 | Nov. 19–20 | Dec. 10–11

The inaugural RCA Games was one for the books! 🎉
Inspired by the hit show The Traitors, this unique, two-part fundraising experience brought together 20 business and community leaders for an unforgettable competition of wit, strategy, and fun, all to support student scholarships here at the Ron Clark Academy.

Together, we raised $245,000 for scholarships and celebrated the RCA Games culmination with an incredible watch party. Big congratulations to the “faithful” winners!

A special thank you to our presenting sponsor, Truist, and to every sponsor, participant, donor, volunteer, and supporter who helped make this first-of-its-kind event memorable. Because of you, students will have access to life-changing opportunities at RCA. 💙
