Atlanta Girls' School

We are big proponents of single-gender education and AGS offers more. Besides the small class size, and a small school, it allowed our daughter to try new things, step out of her comfort zone, and become confident in who she is as a strong woman. AGS creates leaders.

There is so much to say about this AMAZING school that provides a one-of-a-kind education like no other. Classes are rigorous, engaging, and challenging.The teachers are truly invested and care so much about every single girls' education and personal development. I have two daughters here (6th and 8th grades, one of which with ASD) who are very different but who are both thriving academically and socially. At AGS, small class sizes and the small student body mean that every single teacher knows the needs, strengths, goals, and personality of every single student. Students know that the teachers are there to support them at all turns. The girls all get along, include one another, and support one another. I never hear of any bullying. Most impressive is how the girls all develop such strong confidence, critical thinking, public speaking, and leadership skills. The girls get to experience so many opportunities that are only available at an all-girls school. For example, my 8th grader got to spend several days this year at Spanx headquarters learning to code and learning about entrepreneurship with Spanx founder Sara Blakely and supermodel Karlie Kloss. There are too many experiences and opportunities to mention, but let me just say this is truly a special place!

We moved our daughter to AGS in 8th grade. I am a huge believer in girl's education and the solid research behind the benefits of it and thought it would be the right school for our family. It has far exceeded our expectations and in a few short months, our daughter has completely transformed there. She is more confident, outspoken, and walks taller now. It is such a welcoming and loving environment with an opportunity for the focus to be on all the right things. Love AGS -- it's a hidden gem in Atlanta.

Our experience with the faculty and administration has had a positive effect on our daughter's academic career. She has become more confident and outspoken. She is excelling in her classes now that she participate with her teachers. She is also starting to take on leadership roles within her class! We have truly watched a blossoming of a young woman. We cannot encourage parents of girls enough to at least come and shadow for a day so your daughter can experience some of the positive energy that the teachers pour into the students on a daily basis!

My daughter has been at AGS for 5 years - she started in 6th grade. We have been impressed with the individual attention that our daughter has received from her advisor and from every teacher. She has learned to work in partnership with her teachers to get what she needs from each class. Her level of true understanding of every subject is second to none. I am constantly amazed by the wealth of knowledge that she can share with me on every subject from World History to Latin to Chemistry. If your daughter loves to learn, then AGS is the place for her!

Academically, AGS is outstanding. AGS has a high matriculation to top-notch universities and the college counseling is second to none. AGS is everything a parent could wish for. The teachers are excellent and they are friendly and know their students. Dinner conversations have become interesting and lively since my daughter is now at AGS where the students are taught to express themselves with confidence.
