Ivy Preparatory Academies has received state approval to double the size of its attendance zone, opening the door to thousands of new students from Fulton County and the city of Atlanta.
The petition to expand the charter school operator’s boundaries was unanimously approved recently by Georgia’s Charter Schools Commission. The expansion is in response to metro Atlanta parent interest in the single-gender school network’s academic program, according to the news release from the school.
IPA operates three single-gender public charter schools: Ivy Prep Gwinnett, its flagship school for girls, Ivy Prep Kirkwood School for Girls and Ivy Prep Young Men’s Leadership Academy, both in DeKalb County.
Under IPA’s new boundaries, students who attend or are eligible to attend Fulton County Schools and DeKalb County Schools can now enroll at Ivy Prep Gwinnett. Students who attend or are eligible to attend Atlanta Public Schools can enroll in IPA Kirkwood School for Girls or Ivy Prep Young Men’s Leadership Academy.
