Funding fit at Capstone Academy Atlanta
Does Capstone Academy Atlanta accept the Georgia Promise Scholarship?
Yes. Capstone Academy Atlanta is on the Georgia Education Savings Authority's 2026-27 participating school list, approved as of April 23, 2026, so a student who qualifies for the Promise Scholarship can direct up to $6,500 a year to it.
The state records its accreditation as Cognia/AdvancED (accredited). A participating school may enroll Promise students only in the grades its accreditation covers, so confirm your child's grade with the admissions office.
Does Capstone Academy Atlanta take the Georgia Special Needs Scholarship (GSNS)?
Yes. Capstone Academy Atlanta is on the Georgia Department of Education's authorized participating list for the 2026-27 Special Needs Scholarship. A student who had an IEP, or a 504 plan for a listed condition, in a Georgia public school last year can bring a GSNS award here.
Authorization lets the school accept the scholarship. It doesn't mean the school provides every service in an IEP, so ask about the specific supports your child uses.

Yes, through Georgia's Dual Enrollment program, which covers private school juniors and seniors for up to 30 semester hours of approved courses. Ask the counseling office which colleges its students use.
