This will be my 4th year at AGS and I absolutely love it! Coming from a public school, I have been able to really appreciate what AGS has to offer, because I have been given so many opportunities that are not offered elsewhere. The teachers at AGS are amazing and very passionate about what they teach. They truly care about each girl's success, and really get to know each girl. Because of its small size, AGS has a very close-knit community. At AGS there are many unique programs and traditions, including meaningful weekly assemblies, advisory, EDLS, and Winterim. There are also many exciting social events, including Homecoming Week events, Coffee House, and Horizon Day. Personally, I have found many ways to get involved in the AGS community, including joining many clubs, participating in chorus, and mentoring middle school girls through Chick Chat. Overall, AGS is a great school that prepares girls for college and beyond.
AGS is a good school for adolescent girls but it lacks in some areas. The administration is lacking and minimal. Although there is a counselor, they lack a good one. AGS does NOT discipline kids correctly. Everything is swept under the rug, and no one really gets held accountable for their actions. Their form of detention is not effective. There are A LOT of racial problems that get swept under the rug. Racist students go unpunished often times or their “punishment” is to join a social justice council. They care more about the LGBTQ+ problems than they do about racial issues within the school. Often students of color get punished more harsher if anyone gets punished at all for lesser acts than white wealthy students. Nonetheless, the friends you make at AGS are friends that last a lifetime. The girls are nice, caring, and open. Teachers truly care about the betterment of the students, and there are many fun events for students to interact with each other and the community.
The Atlanta Girls' School is a wonderful to attend and it separates itself from other private schools in the surrounding area with programs like Winterim (a 2 week program after Winter Break where students participate in academic-based classes like Spanish and Latino Film Studies, Self-Defense, etc...), EDLS (a program designed to teach and develop leadership skills and help students discover their strengths and weaknesses and how to deal with both), required global travel and many more avenues. However, the best part about attending this school is the long-lasting relationships you create not only with your friends, but with teachers, parents of other teachers and so on.
