#3 Best Private K-12 Schools in Atlanta Area
Parent: The experience my child has had and is having in this school could not be matched in any other school. High academic standards that inspire him to learn and to put all his effort into delving in a wide variety of subjects (academics and otherwise) to learn. My child's teachers have been inspiring and supportive in class and beyond (afterschool activities). The international-mindedness that my child already exhibits is a testament to the great education offered at Atlanta International School. I can only wait to see what the rest of Secondary School at AIS has in store for my child!

The Paideia School
Private School
Atlanta, GA
PK, K-12

#4 Best Private K-12 Schools in Atlanta Area
Alum: I entered Paideia in eight grade. The biggest difference between Paideia and my old school was the the focus on the arts. Paideia has great musical and visual arts facilities. Something else very noticeable about Paideia is the amount of free rein the school gives it teachers in the classroom. Teachers are allowed to choose what topics they want to cover over the semester; they're also given a lot of choice in how they want to teach that topic. Much of the education I received there (except for a handful of classes) strayed from any standard state or federal curriculum. I was able to receive a very unique and wholistic education there. Preparation for AP tests can be a little lacking though, there aren't as many AP classes offered as there would be in most high schools. The school is also not as racially diverse as most schools in Georgia, but it does make genuine efforts to confront racial issues in an educational setting. The school also has a phenomenal college prep department.

#6 Best Private K-12 Schools in Atlanta Area
Junior: Woodward is a terrific school! I have been here since my 8th grade year and I have loved every minute of it. I love Woodward for many reasons. First, campus is beautiful and it is very nice to observe it when walking from class to class. Secondly, Woodward opens so many doors. We are taught at a higher pace which makes it easier to get not only get into college, but it makes the transition easier. Thirdly, I love the diversity of woodward. Being a student at Woodward, I have friends who are different than me, which is good. However, I have friends who are extremely different from me which I appreciate. Having friends who are very different from me allows me to understand people more and be accepting. That is a fundamental life school. While Woodward is amazing in almost every aspect, I do wish Woodward had more African-American teachers. I am a Junior in the upper-school and I have only had 2 African-American teachers.

#8 Best Private K-12 Schools in Atlanta Area
Parent: We were, for the most part, happy with the education my child received at Galloway, and very much liked the kids with whom he became friends. That said, my exceptionally smart and social child did not thrive as he should have done because they do not have good resources to support students with learning disabilities (my son has dyslexia and ADHD.) I do not expect every school to have these resources, but Galloway advertises themselves as being a school that excels at supporting kids with learning differences, and it is totally untrue.

#10 Best Private K-12 Schools in Atlanta Area
Parent: HIES has been an excellent place for our daughter. As a fairly academically gifted child, the class offerings have been such a welcome challenge for her. It's the right amount of rigor, balanced with enthusiastic and encouraging teachers, and enough space for her to also just be a kid and enjoy school. It is possible to have strong academics without the pressure-cooker environment evident at several other schools, and we've absolutely found that at HIES.

#11 Best Private K-12 Schools in Atlanta Area
Parent: We have been a Walker family for four years. We have had our typical middle school mishaps and stumbles, but we are so thankful for a small environment to use the mishaps as teachable moments to allow for growth and character development.

While we loved our neighborhood public schools, but both my children as they were closer to approaching middle school felt they weren’t being “heard” and were losing their love of learning. A neighbor had been telling us for years to check Walker out. When my daughter did her shadow day she was sold! The lunch offerings didn’t hurt either!

Walker not only offers a top tier academic environment for children to thrive across all divisions, but they are the embodiment of a true family atmosphere. The administrators and staff work closely to ensure that each child’s unique offerings have a place at Walker.

#13 Best Private K-12 Schools in Atlanta Area
Parent: During the corona crisis, when schools were shut down, GACS did not miss a beat. Within 48 hours GACS had their digital learning environment up and working. Not fumbling, not "we will figure it out as we go", up and kids learning from day one. My kids were even impressed with their school. Why were they able to do this? They are a cohesive team of administrators, teachers, faculty, counselors, etc. who hold themselves to a highter standard. If everthing you do is for the glory of God, the end result can be pretty amazing!

Parent: We are very happy with the nurturing and teaching our children are receiving. From chapel, classroom instruction with a full-time teacher and teaching assistant, and the many offerings available during and after school, the education is unparalleled. Our daughter came into the school with some math gaps and her math teacher works with her 1:1 to help her. She has markedly improved. Our children’s peers are wonderful kids that we love to have over and whose families share similar values. We are so grateful to the faculty and staff at Landmark!

#17 Best Private K-12 Schools in Atlanta Area
Sophomore: I love attending Mount Paran Christian School! They adjusted very well to the coronavirus safety protocols and kept us in school all year! I love my classes, especially my teachers because I feel like they care about us as individuals, not just as students. The administration also is very loving and forgiving to the students. Our lunches are usually spectacular and the campus is beautiful! Lots of sports and extracurriculars are offered. I love the way the schedule works in high school with A-days and B-days because it keeps me engaged and focused better than the seven classes a day schedule.

Junior: Mount Pisgah is a school where it is easy to tell that everyone working there wants to be there. Every day you see the teachers pour into us (the students) and give us advice. The teachers, administrators, and coaches have always been there for me in times of trouble and in times of great joy. Many times, they are the ones that helped me reach that joy. I have been through Mount Pisgah's pre-school, lower, middle, and upper school and the facilities have always been top notch and clean. My peers are very friendly and welcoming to people and constantly try to make new students feel at home. I could not have asked for a better experience!

#19 Best Private K-12 Schools in Atlanta Area
Alum: The teachers really care about every individual! They always took the time to talk with me one-on-one and make sure that I was doing okay not just academically but emotionally. It is so easy to become a leader in the school from starting your own club to being captain of a team to becoming editor of the newspaper or yearbook. Additionally, you can't help but feel the tight-knit community at AJA. Everyone knows everyone and has each others' backs. Everyone sings together on Friday at Shabbos Dancing and cheers like crazy at basketball games on Saturday nights. One thing that I think they could work on is instead of changing everything each year (school uniform went from needing logos on everything which cost a lot to not needing logos to not having any uniform at all). Rather, they should just focus on making sure what is already in place is working. Another thing they could improve is getting rid of horrible teachers sooner or at least letting students change classes more easily.

Parent: It is great for your child to go to school in a place where everyone knows her and she still runs into that favorite 2nd grade teacher each week. While they watch your child grow, they contribute to their education and growth as a person to be responsible and kind. Academics are strong and there are many other opportunities in extracurriculars, but it's the creating a whole person that sets Lakeview Academy apart.

#21 Best Private K-12 Schools in Atlanta Area
Alum: I attended Whitefield Academy for grades K-12 and could not be more amazed at my experience. Of course, every school has its flaws, but at Whitefield, honestly, the benefits outweighed them by so much. The teachers really set the school apart — they genuinely care about each student, to the point where sometimes the desire to make them proud was my primary reason for doing assignments as best I could. They really saw me as a human being that they could connect with and build up in Christ. I found incredible community, too, with other students. Also, I felt very academically prepared for my University. Whitefield really did give me a passion for learning, for others, and for Christ. I cannot recommend it enough. I have spoken to the head of school along with some of the board members and their incredible passion for reaching every single student — in so many more levels than just academic — astounds me.

Middle School Student: I've been going to NSA since diapers. Currently, I am in the ninth grade, and I have already received access to so many opportunities. Along with education, NSA focuses on making everyone from everywhere feel welcome in our community. Sure, we have had our rough spots, but hasn't everyone? When I have trouble or drama, NSA is my safe haven to be myself. My teachers' goal is to help students achieve theirs. Honestly, so many of my teachers at NSA have helped shape my bright future. I am always eager to learn, and I always feel welcome in their classes. Along with this, I have always found NSA to be so creative and clever. There are so many fun social activities, especially the pep rallies and football games! Overall, NSA has taught me skills that will last me a lifetime. From making friends, to prioritizing education, NSA will always be my home. I wouldn't have anything else for the world.

Parent: My husband and I wanted an inclusive school that would be an extension of our family, and we found that in the Burgundy Community. We made the decision to send my son to Burgundy in JK and looking back now as he is in the midst of 2nd grade, choosing Burgundy was the best decision. Burgundy is a nurturing community that fosters the whole child, ensuring life long learners. Burgundy leans into a child's individual character and ensures every child is heard and has a voice. My son loves Burgundy and is thriving. I know without a doubt that Burgundy will lay the foundation for my son's continued success, not only in his future academic pursuits, but in life as a whole!

A diversity of strengths for well-rounded students that simply can’t be matched by other private schools in Northern Virginia. Students genuinely support each other, even after they become alumni. It’s not uncommon for alumni to return from prestigious universities to share how well the school prepared them for the academic challenges ahead. Also, the robotics program is literally world class!
