Every child holds something bright and powerful within. My purpose is to help them uncover it and chart a path that’s truly theirs.
With over 30 years of experience in special education, I’ve had the privilege of working with students who think differently, feel deeply, and learn in ways that don’t always fit the mold. I’ve seen how traditional classrooms can miss the students who need the most patience, creativity, and care.
I founded Exceptional Village Academy to create that kind of space. A place where students are met with patience, challenged with purpose, and supported every step of the way. A place where curiosity is encouraged and learning is personal.
Come see what school can be when students are guided, supported, and free to grow.
— Anna Thompson
Founder & Director, Exceptional Village Academy
I love working with students from all over. I’ve kept EVA small on purpose so relationships stay strong and each learner can be known. Our community is built on trust, creativity, and the belief that every student carries potential that deserves to be nurtured. I’m not here to check boxes. I’m here to walk beside each learner, help them discover what they’re capable of, and guide them toward a future that feels true to who they are. I am also a Georgia-certified special educator and tutor, providing online instruction to students with learning challenges, including local students who need a more personalized approach.
