We weren't sure about single-gender education when we started looking into AGS but we are now committed fans of the approach. The school makes real leaders out of girls, and has the right mix of rigorous academics and nurturing. Diversity is not just some theory here. The sports programs are competitive and the coaching is great, but know that this is a small school that plays in lower level leagues.

AGS is a great school. It shaped me into the woman I am today and I owe a lot to my teacher's dedication and belief in me. The teachers there are wonderful and push you to think deeper and work harder. The administration is a mess though, and the head of school (as of 2020) is uninvolved and a bad leader. It's disappointing

A dedicated faculty, staff (and impressive new Head Of School) make sure the AGS is a great experience for each student. The school is small, but for what matter most, The Atlan...

Both are independent, employed, engaged in fulfilling careers, and have terrific personal relationships (lots of friends; one is happily married and the other dating a great fellow). As young adults, they lov...

AGS is a fabulous place to educate your daughters, develop their confidence, and prepare them to be unapologetically bold leaders in the classroom and beyond. The school has strong and devoted faculty and an amazing college counselor. Our oldest daughter graduated two years ago and is now thriving a...
