Swift School serves students in kindergarten through eighth grade with language-learning differences, ADHD, and/or an executive functioning disorder. Anna Kate’s story adds to the collection of success stories that have come from Swift School since its opening in 1998.

Before attending Swift School, Anna Kate felt overwhelmed by the workload and struggled to find her place. After enrolling at Swift as a sixth grader, she immediately felt supported and understood by her teachers. Swift School’s faculty and staff equipped Anna Kate with the tools and resources necessary to help her succeed academically and grow mentally and socially.\

“Mr. Lytle, my science teacher for three years, was such an inspiration,” she said. “He is the teacher who the students call ‘the fun teacher’. Ms. Eagen, my math teacher, was a big inspiration because she never made me feel like I was a burden, and she was always willing to help.”

Anna Kate recently returned to Swift and was delighted to share the news of a high score on her first math test with Ms. Eagen. Anna Kate gave Ms. Eagen’s instruction all the credit for helping her transition smoothly to high school math.

“Swift has prepared me for success,” Anna Kate stated. “I have learned skills and tools that will stay with me in the future.” 

During her three years at Swift, Anna Kate participated in cross country, basketball, and flag football. As an eighth grader, she helped Swift capture Atlanta Private Schools Athletic Conference championships in basketball and flag football. Currently a freshman at a local public school, Anna Kate plans to play basketball. Anna Kate has lofty goals for her basketball career beyond high school with an interest in playing in college.

Swift taught Anna Kate valuable life lessons in the classroom and during extracurricular activities. Her advice to current Swift School students is simple, and she encourages them to appreciate their teachers. “Listen to your teachers,” she said. “Pay attention because what they teach you is exactly what you will need to know for high school, especially as a freshman!”
