School Notes:

  • Atlanta International School doesn’t just prepare students for college—it gives them the intellectual and cultural confidence to succeed in a globally connected world.  AIS was the dream of parents, educators and members of the business community who understood and valued the benefits of an international education. Today, AIS is the only school in Georgia, and one of only a handful of schools in the U. S., to offer an International Baccalaureate education in grades 3K–12. The prestigious IB program, the fastest-growing curriculum in the world, is a rigorous, inquiry-based curriculum recognized by the world’s most renowned universities and colleges. AIS graduates pursue higher education at top-100 ranked U.S. schools and universities around the globe.   The school is widely considered to be a major asset to the city of Atlanta in attracting foreign investment and business.Located in Buckhead, AIS is fully accredited by the International Baccalaureate, Council of International Schools and AdvanceEd. Current enrollment stands at over 1,100 students in 3K through grade 12, of which 50% are American and 50% international, hailing from over 70 nations. Primary students follow a bilingual curriculum of English plus French, German or Spanish until the fifth grade.  The school offers a full complement of notable extracurricular activities, including an award-winning performing arts program. AIS is also pleased to announce the opening of the Adair Art, Science and Design Center this past fall. This light-filled, environmentally friendly, LEED-designed classroom building further facilitates the close interdisciplinary collaboration that is the hallmark of the IB curriculum.
