Banks Academy is a non-profit private Christian school founded by Darryl White, Ben Deloach, Ginger Griffin Burkett and Randy Overstreet.
It opened for incoming ninth graders in August 2015 in the former Family Worship Center at 8301 8th Avenue South in South East Lake. Former Leeds City Schools administrator Kathy King is principal.
The school is named in honor of the former Banks High School, alma mater of the four founders. The school's logo incorporates a jet plane, inspired by Banks High School's mascot.
