HEAD OF SCHOOL- HUNTER REED CLUTHE
Hunter Reed Cluthe has extensive teaching, leadership, and business experience; his 20-year career in education includes teaching and administrative experience which spans from teaching in both traditional and non-traditional schools. A Johns Creek resident and well-established Johns Creek business owner (Johns Creek Test Prep & Tutoring), Hunter has developed a well respected brand and name-recognition within the community based on his ability to connect with students, attract and hire the best certified professional teachers, and get maximum results.
Opening William & Reed Academy was a natural progression for Hunter Reed Cluthe. Hunter states, “The idea behind William & Reed Academy is to give students a personalized educational experience that truly prepares students to be independent thinkers, to recognize their strengths, and to develop confidence, both personally and academically. As a veteran teacher, I have observed how exhausted students are at the end of their school day, only to go home with two to four hours of homework. The amount of wasted time for many students during a typical school day is alarming. At William & Reed Academy, the goal is for our students to have a much more relevant and successful school day, without sacrificing quality or instructional time, and to be completely finished with their academic day (homework included) before other students are getting off the bus. We feel this can easily be accomplished by offering longer academic periods with much smaller classes, which gives our students more academic instructional time than most traditional five-day schedules. William & Reed Academy’s faculty shares the philosophy that connecting with students is an integral part of the learning process. We have amazing certified teachers who know what students need in order to be competitive and successful in college and beyond, and we have created an environment where students love to learn and teachers love to teach.”
Hunter is a proud father of a son and two beautiful daughters.
