GA has been an excellent experience for my child and has prepared her very well for college. At least in the case of my child the investment in GA was well worth it considering the sizable merit scholarships she received from colleges she applied to. Based on our experiences GA graduates are highly desirable for selective colleges and universities.

GA has been a wonderful place for my son to not only learn how to be a student but also how to be a good human. Starting in kindergarten, he was taught the importance of being kind and understanding of everyone. The coursework has always been rigorous, but the teachers are there with support. The coaches put more emphasis on being good teammates and sportsmanship than just winning. GA is an amazing community for my whole family.

GA is a singular place. The students are highly motivated to learn, academics are challenging, and teachers are engaging. The school is best for students who want to excel, but I think a student who might be not extremely motivated before coming to GA, but who is capable of excellent work might find...
