Beyond The Children's School

Research shows that children who remain children longer are not only healthier, happier, socially stronger, and more resilient, but they also develop better critical core competencies that lay the groundwork for academic success. TCS graduates exemplify this as they thrive in high school and college as innovative, collaborative problem-solvers who are adept at standing up for their beliefs.

We joined the TCS community in November 2016 when my son was in 2nd grade. We enrolled my daughter in the 4/5s program the following year. At TCS, my children have been taught by caring teachers, made great friends, and developed a strong sense of self. TCS preserved my children's childhood, despite the strains of the pandemic, which they navigated thoughtfully. As a parent, I appreciate how much I've learned through my engagement with the TCS community, especially about parenting, equity and inclusion. TCS created a community where my wife and I felt supported as parents and made many friends of our own.

TCS' teachers are wonderful, adeptly blending nurture and academic challenge. The curriculum reflects the best thinking in progressive pedagogy, emphasizing play and project-based learning in age appropriate ways.

TCS reflects the values we espouse at home, and my children are growing in their sense of character and self as a result. Thank you, TCS!

My family has had a 5-star experience at The Children's School. The thing that stands out to me is the sense of joy in the air whenever I'm on campus. It's a place people are happy to be! There is great engagement among all members of the community - parents, faculty/staff and students alike. The community is large enough to offer amazing support services to students, but small enough that each child is well-known (and valued!) for their own unique characteristics. There are so many other great things to note about the school, from its beautiful diversity to its Building Character and Community values program to its approach to project-based learning. My family is lucky to be a part of the community, and I would encourage anyone considering TCS to take a tour and come see this wonderful place for yourself!

We are entering our third year at TCS, and absolutely adore the school and community! We feel so lucky to have found this gem of a school, which is so unique in the Atlanta area. We love the progressive philosophy, project-based learning curriculum, diversity and focus on social-emotional learning in addition to academics. Children and childhood are truly celebrated at TCS, with students being encouraged to learn and explore in age-appropriate ways. Lots of outdoor play and interactive learning has been a hallmark of our time there, and there is very little "sit at your desk and do worksheets" type of instruction, we we love. Because of the excellent student-teacher ratio (each elementary class has two full-time teachers for roughly 22-24 children), children are able to get individualized and small group instruction and teachers are able to meet them where they are academically. We also love the range of specials offered (PE, Art, Music, STEAM lab, Library, and foreign language).
