Lotus Buds Academy offers families a Buddhist alternative to the traditional US public school system. We provide a personalized, values-driven education that prioritizes mindfulness, creativity, and academic excellence.
As a qualified institution for the Georgia Promise Scholarship, Lotus Buds Academy makes it easier for families to access a customized educational experience that aligns with their child’s unique needs and aspirations.
With smaller class sizes, a focus on holistic development, and a nurturing community, our academy helps students thrive academically, emotionally, and socially.

Empowering Futures Through Specialized Programs: Medical Prep and ASVAB Support
At LBA, we are dedicated to equipping young adults with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in their chosen paths. Through our programs, LTI aims to ensure that young adults are not only prepared but empowered to pursue their dreams with purpose and determination.
The Medical Preparatory Program offers hands-on experiences and foundational knowledge in healthcare, helping students explore career opportunities in the medical field while building the confidence and skills required for further education or certification.
The ASVAB Study Group provides targeted support for students preparing to enter the military, focusing on key areas of the test to improve scores and expand career options within the armed forces.

All Hands In the Circle:
The Parent-Teacher Association (PTA)
at Lotus Buds Academy
The Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) at Lotus Buds Virtual Learning Pods is a vital part of our community. The PTA fosters collaboration between parents, educators, and administrators to enhance every child’s learning experience. Rooted in Buddhist principles of mindfulness, compassion, and kindness, the PTA advocates for the well-being and success of all students while building strong connections among families through meetings, online forums, and shared initiatives.
As a bridge between families and LBA, the PTA encourages active parent involvement in:
-
shaping curriculum,
-
organizing enrichment activities (like in-person/virtual field trips and mindfulness workshops), and
-
creating a supportive, values-driven environment.
With opportunities for leadership and transparency through regular updates, the PTA ensures every voice is heard and contributes to the co-op’s shared vision. Join us and make a meaningful impact on your child’s educational journey!
