The students of an Atlanta school recently got a visit from one of today’s biggest entertainers.
Grammy-award winning musical artist Usher Raymond stopped by Ron Clark Academy, a private nonprofit middle school in southeast Atlanta that's known for its unorthodox engagement methods.

He posted photos of his visit on Instagram, along with the caption: “Had the opportunity to get #SlideCertified at #RonClarkAcademy, but more importantly, I got to hang with future #Disruptivators.”
The first of the six photos appears to show Usher just after emerging from a blue slide inside the school.
Usher's New Look charity describes a "disruptivator" as a mix of being a disruptor and an innovator.
