On June 5, 2018, the State of Georgia's Secretary of State certified the incorporation of Prodigious Academy, a domestic nonprofit corporation founded by Brother Mikal Driver, who also serves as CEO of the Atlanta-based educational enterprise.

In describing the new venture, Brother Driver shared that "Prodigious Academy has set out a plan to create the temple builders of the future. There is a vision to create leaders with hands that will be raised, to lift up the domes and spires of a coming civilization that will be led by this new generation. Upon the foundation they will lay, all the tomorrows shall build a far nobler edifice for the people to see the true value in themselves. The world will see urban youth of color take their place as builders of the temple of character, wherein, should dwell an enlightened spirit that will keep power within the people."

We are an organization with a set curriculum geared towards helping urban youth of color develop an unstoppable love for learning and a pure passion for practice in any endeavor. Prodigious Academy is on a mission to take the members of Generation Z and turn them into the heroes the world isn’t expecting them to become.

We are on a mission to provide a safe, open, and enriching experience that unconventionally allows urban youth to find their way into becoming the exceptional leaders and scholars they choose to be.
