Still Time to Choose: Why July is the Perfect Month for Parents to Reimagine School Options

Charter Schools Still Have Open Seats

If you’re searching for a fresh start for the 2025–2026 school year, it’s not too late. Many charter schools across Metro Atlanta still have open seats this summer. Families often move, transfer to other programs, or change plans at the last minute. That means spots open up well into July and August.
Charter schools are:
✔️ Public and tuition-free
✔️ Innovative in teaching and curriculum
✔️ Designed with strong parent voices at the center
Whether you’re looking for smaller class sizes, STEM programs, or arts-focused learning, charter schools provide a variety of options to match your child’s needs.

The GA Promise Scholarship: Expanding Opportunities

Another reason July matters? The Georgia Promise Scholarship. This program could provide $6,500+ per student to help families cover private school tuition, tutoring, or special education services.
If you’re in DeKalb or Macon, this scholarship could be a game-changer for your child’s future. Even if you thought private school was out of reach, Promise can make a better-fit school financially possible.
