Introducing our Impact Report

Dear GLOBE Community,

We are excited to introduce The GLOBE Academy’s 2025–2026 Impact Report, a reflection of a remarkable year of growth, progress and community.

As we close the 2025–2026 Annual Fund campaign, we want to extend our deepest gratitude to every family, faculty member, community partner and friend who invested in GLOBE this year.

Thank you to our Annual Fund Donors and Sponsors!

Because of your generosity, we have raised an incredible $245,819.81 in support of our students, teachers and school.

Our fundraising goal for 2025–2026 was $300,000, and thanks to your support:

• Annual Fund: $124,745.00 raised (83% of goal)

• GLOBE Trot: $121,074.81 raised (80% of goal)

Every gift made a difference. Most importantly, your participation demonstrated a shared commitment to ensuring every GLOBE student has access to the resources, experiences and opportunities they deserve.

As a free public charter school, GLOBE does not receive Georgia’s Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST) funding for facilities, technology or capital improvements. Community support helps bridge that gap and provides resources that directly enhance the student experience.

In October, GLOBE teachers attended the International Dyslexia Association’s annual event, DyslexiaCon 25, in Atlanta, from October 23–25, 2025, at the Hyatt Regency Atlanta Downtown. It featured three days of research, advocacy, and structured literacy workshops. Under Georgia’s Early Literacy and Dyslexia Act (HB 307), all public schools must universally screen K–3 students for reading difficulties and dyslexia characteristics three times per year.

The objectives of this year’s conference were (1) to unveil the 2025 Dyslexia definition, which was the first major revision since 2002; (2) provide educator and practitioner training on structured literacy, evidence-based reading interventions, and strategies K–12 staff can use to support neurodiverse students in the classroom; and (3) create a space for networking and advocacy, allowing teachers, parents, clinicians, and individuals with dyslexia to share experiences, challenge associated stigmas and advocate for better educational support and state policies.

Thank you to all the parents and community members who lent their time, energy and positivity to support our fundraising efforts through GLOBE Trot and the Development Committee.

GLOBE is planning a number of exciting updates to Upper Campus this summer, including:
Replace and Alter External and Internal Doors; Waterproofing, Replace or Repair Gutters/Downspouts, Replace Bathroom Partitions and Faucets; Create Science Lab; Expand Library Space; Replace LED Sign; Internal Signage in all Languages; and Internal Painting.

We are continually amazed by the generosity, enthusiasm and partnership of the GLOBE community. Your support empowers our teachers, enriches our students’ educational experiences, strengthens our campuses and helps ensure that GLOBE continues to thrive for years to come.

From all of us at GLOBE, thank you for believing in our mission and for investing in the future of our students. Wishing everyone a relaxing summer and we look forward to seeing you in August!

With gratitude,

The GLOBE Academy Board of Directors
