International schools in Atlanta

Parents looking for private international schools in Atlanta have good, if limited, options. While there aren’t any schools offering the curriculum of a foreign country, several language-immersion schools offer options, including French, German, Mandarin, Japanese, and Spanish. The International Baccalaureate is also offered by numerous private and public schools. Language-immersion programmes are useful for families looking to maintain or develop their children’s proficiency in a language other than English.

When looking for international schools in Atlanta, it’s essential to consider the proximity of your home to your children’s schools and your workplace, as traffic in the city is notoriously congested. Public transport in the city is not as comprehensive as in other cities, so you may have to rely on a vehicle to get around.

Below is a list of reputable international schools in Atlanta.
