Michelle Flowers, who migrated from her homeland of Jamaica, West Indies at the age of nine years old with her mother and two younger siblings to Brooklyn, New York in search of access to better educational and life opportunities has a great call to service in this capacity of her work.

Her service has come full circle as she was a former Mentor Teacher, Dean of Students, Founding Principal, Assistant Principal for a turnaround Atlanta Public School, Director of Teaching and Learning and now a founder of an uniquely designed community co-designed college preparatory charter schools built on the promise that we will reverse the achievement gap for minority students by providing high performing school choice for our scholars and families K through grade 8.

As an educator and administrator for 15 years working in high performing college preparatory charter schools in underserved neighborhoods in Brooklyn, New York and Atlanta, Georgia, Michelle believes we have an incredible opportunity to be who or what inspired us for our scholars, so they too can one day stand in their life’s purpose. She has provided and will continue to provide quality development for leaders and teachers as well as outstanding educational choices to families, scholars and communities we hope to serve.

Michelle earned her undergraduate degree in Psychology from The College of New Rochelle and her Master’s of Science in Elementary School Education from Hunter College. She is currently a Georgia Charter School Association Fellow working alongside trailblazers and innovators in education on her quest to close the equity gap and transform education and communities.

Passion is Energy! Our village will be the best we can be for the scholars we’ll serve in all the years to come.
