A SCHOOL FOR CHILDREN
Home of
The Vertical High School Academy

A
School for Children, Inc. began as Constructs and Concepts International
Professional Learning and Meta-cognitive Coaching Firm in October
2004. This educational firm was the brainchild of Jewel
Jones Faison, Ph.D., a former public school superintendent, curriculum
specialist, teacher, researcher and college professor who longed to see
child-centered, content-rich accelerated instruction for all children.
Also, Dr. Faison’s belief was that children should learn in a comfortable
environment that encourages creativity and self-motivation. The
improvement in the performance of students who attended the meta-cognitive
coaching sessions at Constructs & Concepts International (CCI) was noted
and appreciated and parents began to ask Dr. Faison for a full-day, regular
school program that mimicked the coaching sessions. Thus, CCI was established and opened its’ doors as a summer venture camp
in May 2005. The first school enrollment was 8. By the fall of 2006-07 school year the enrollment had more than doubled. A School for Children, Inc. was officially separated from CCI and incorporated as a Georgia Non-Profit Corporation during the 2006-07 school year.
