Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to David Price. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
David, appreciate you joining us today. So, let’s start with a hypothetical – what would you change about the educational system?
Education needs to be relevant for our changing and growing society. Students are aware that many courses offered simply are no longer needed and do not prepare them for life post high school.
David, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

How’d you build such a strong reputation within your market?
Our reputation was built and earned as a result of our love and care for students in their academic and personal growth. As students across Georgia discovered our genuine concern for their overall welfare, our name became a household name.
Can you tell us about a time you’ve had to pivot?
Covid certainly was a time everyone has in some form found a pivot! For us, many of the things that were required during Covid was apart of our thumbprint. We have had an online division of our school for over 7 years and we have followed a hybrid schedule for almost 8 years.
Covid forced us to offer additional services to our online and in person audience.
