Cannon Academy was founded by Boone and Cutler Cannon, two Emory University graduates shaped by the breadth and rigor of a liberal arts education. Their shared passion for helping students succeed in the college admissions process led them to create a service that blends strategic guidance, personalized care, and a holistic approach.

​

The name Cannon Academy reflects more than just a family name—it embodies the qualities of strength, focus, and intentionality that define our approach. Much like a cannon must be carefully aimed to hit its target, every student’s application is thoughtfully crafted and strategically positioned for maximum impact. With Cutler’s academic versatility and specialized background in college admissions, paired with Boone’s literary expertise and natural gift for storytelling, Cannon Academy was born.

​

With a growing team of elite counselors at Cannon Academy, we focus on three guiding principles: Preparation, Positioning, and Acceptance. We help students build a strong foundation throughout their high school years, craft compelling essays, and empower them to present their best selves to admissions committees. Our goal is to ensure students are ready and confident—not just for college admissions, but for the challenges and opportunities that await them beyond.

​

Cannon Academy has a strong track record of supporting students gain admission to prestigious institutions such as Harvard University, Johns Hopkins, Northwestern University, University College London, University of Oxford, Emory University, University of Texas at Austin, and Boston University, among others. Our dedicated team of counselors works closely with each student to navigate the complexities of the college admissions process, tailoring strategies to highlight their unique strengths and aspirations.
