E.B.L.A. Academy was started in 1999. The original purpose of the Academy was to allow gifted students the opportunity to work at a faster than normal pace. They could attend school year round with the possibility of graduating earlier. Admission was based on interview only in which each student had to showcase some hidden or obvious talent. In 2001, we opened our doors to begin taking on students from traditional school systems. We no longer work with only gifted students, but students from all walks of life. We have come to realize that when everyone is given a sincere and enriching opportunity, they can accomplish anything. This is why our initials stand for Education Brings Leadership and Achievment. Our mascot is a globe because we have a universal approach to learning and have worked with students from all over the world.

We are considered a non-traditional private school and learning center that is accredited with quality by the Georgia Accrediting Commission. We are considered a non-traditional private school because of three different programs we offer, which are (1) Private school itself that has a very small number of students in which laptops are required and interviews are required for admission, (2) Independent study with tutorial in which the students must come several days per week for academic assistance, and (3) Home school program in which the parents are responsible for implementation of the lessons and there is no tutorial time one site.

For programs 2 and 3 parents MUST use our curriculum by accessing the daily lesson plans from our password protected website, ALL test must be taken at EBLA Academy, and we must do ALL of the grading and keep ALL academic records. Students from ALL programs can earn a high school diploma (College prep or technical/career prep). Students from ALL programs, even our home school students are eligible for the HOPE scholarship (if they meet the academic requirements) because they are a member of the Center for Independent Study according to the laws established by the State of Georgia.

We currently offer only academic activities as extra-curricular programs. We have a quarterly newsletter that is mailed to colleges all over the US and a couple of universities abroad. We have a small yearbook and the Executive Order Honor Society. We will hopefully have three sports venues in the future: golf, tennis, and basketball.

Janee Moss has been a tutor since 1990. Though her main focus has been in math and science, she tutors in all subject areas. She earned a BChE degree from Georgia Tech in 1994. She worked successfully in engineering for six years, but found working with students to be more fulfilling. So in 1996, she earned her MEd from the University of Georgia. During this time, she did an internship in the Clarke County School System and taught at Georgia College & State University. She later earned her PhD in Natural Health from CCNH (2000) in Birmingham, Alabama. She is presently working on a series of "fun to learn" books for students that will focus on math and science.
