Atlanta Opens Up A First-Of-Its-Kind LGBT Private School

An openly-gay school is preparing for the upcoming academic year in Atlanta.

According to Yahoo the Pride School  in Atlanta is a "k-12th grade institution designed to be an alternative for LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) students, though the school is open to any student who believes they’re not getting the support they need for “being different,” says 45 year-old Pride School founder Christian Zsilavetz, who himself is transgender.

“Kids have full permission to be themselves — as well as educators. Where there’s no wondering, ‘Is this teacher going to be a person for me to be myself with?’” said Zsilavetz, who is transgender and a veteran teacher with nearly 25 years of experience. “This is a place where they (students) can just open up and be the best person they can be.”

The tuition is around $13,000 a year and should be fully open by September 2016.
