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. It was also Dr. Faison’s belief 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 and is currently seeking a permanent site to accommodate the current demand.
