From Atlanta Girls' School

Atlanta Girls’ School was custom built for one purpose: to prepare girls to lead lives of purpose. For more than 20 years, AGS has offered girls in grades 6 to 12 an exceptional education infused with real-world experiences, challenging and engaging academics, and a tight-knit community. Our curriculum and culture emerge from a distinct vision of what girls must learn individually and collectively to become thoughtful and capable leaders. Graduates attend prestigious liberal arts colleges, Ivy League schools, leading Southeastern universities, and respected research institutes. Girls attending AGS learn to lead with courage and confidence, take risks, and give back to their communities. We are accepting applications for the 2023-24 school year!

I’ve been an AGS parent for about 5 years, with my oldest daughter starting in 6th grade (now entering 10th) and my youngest daughter coming in one year later for 6th grade (entering 9th). This is a wonderful community for both my girls and me. Academically, they have excelled, and I think that’s because most teachers work quite hard to make concepts relatable and non-formulaic, but also because they make themselves available to students to come for targeted assistance. The school and grade classes are quite small, which I believe aids in the school’s ability to meet each girl’s needs. There is also a warm sense of community at AGS! From parent gatherings to annual school events to cheering on the girls who play sports, there’s always a way to connect with other families and support the school and students. A small school certainly means less scaled resources than other local private schools, but I feel strongly that what we’ve gained in community and attention is unparalleled.

My daughter joined AGS in 6th grade from a larger Atlanta private school. She entered as a shy, soft spoken and timid girl and emerged as a confident, well-spoken, fearless young lady with robust academic skills and a strong sense of self. I attribute this to her experience at AGS. AGS nurtures the individual, celebrates her strengths, and provides the room for the girls to speak up and be heard. It is an extremely empowering place with wonderful teachers, an excellent college-prep curriculum, and a welcoming, inclusive environment. AGS changed my daughter's life. She went on to get into her first choice college and has been on the Dean's list for four years. She is graduating in May and starting a career in the male-dominated field of commercial real estate. I know she will be successful due to the belief in herself that she gained from her experience at AGS. Can't say enough about this great school and highly recommend you consider it for your girl!

AGS is THE place for girls. By the time they graduate, students have developed a meaningful understandings of themselves, the world, and their place in it. Teachers and faculty go above and beyond to make sure every student is supported and feels truly loved by their community. I honestly can't recommend AGS enough!
