Midtown International School - Atlanta Grace Angel: MIS is a great school. I have been going here for seven years, and throughout my experience I have learned how to think critically, analyze documents, problem solve, and apply concepts from the classroom to real-world problems. One plus to the small class size is the individualized relationships with the teachers, and how they are able to assess each child’s pace to make sure each kid is being challenged according to their needs. The kids are brilliant, the colleges seniors have gotten into are amazing, and the teachers are phenomenal. There are also many social, student council, and club opportunities for students. Highlander School - Atlanta Cay and tay: We are so happy we found The Highlander School. I was nervous to move our second child to a new place but wanted something closer to our home. I couldnt ask for a more loving environment for our daughter. The director cares so much for the children and the teachers are amazing. My child is allowed to learn through play. They have their own vegetable gardens, an amazing menu, unique birthday celebrations, and kids are shown how important it is to love and respect others. Our daughter will be starting kindergarten soon and we will miss everyone so much. I highly recommend The Highlander School for anyone that is looking for loving fun environment for their kids. The Westminster Schools - Atlanta Douglas Matheson: We have boy/girl twins who started Westminster in 2nd grade and are currently seniors in the upper school. Our experience has been fantastic all the way around - socially, academically, and athletically. The rigor of the college prep curriculum is real, although this is the reason we chose the school for our kids so that they would be challenged. As a parent, what I really like about the school is that it isnt considered "cool" to slack off on your studies. It is quite the opposite which serves as a motivator for both of our kids as they have embraced the process and I feel like they are fully ready for the independence of college.
The school, the teachers and the coaches all operate in unison with the mission to lead, love, and challenge. The opportunities are endless for the student that embraces learning anything and everything. At the same time, the structure, discipline and guidance is equally valuable for the student who views school as a necessary path toward a future doing something they love for a career after college. The campus and facilities are that of a small, private university and the support from alumni is unmatched.
Socially, both our kids found their friend groups and I fully expect them to all be life long friends who all attend different colleges throughout the US. Athletically, both kids had the chance participate in multiple sports through middle and upper school - baseball, football, golf (son), lacrosse, basketball (daughter) and each chose to pursue a single sport by there junior year. The newly hired Athletic Director is elite at her job and the coaching staff for all of our kids sports have been incredibly good while also being supportive with academics being the #1 priority. All this while also being ranked as the #1 High School Athletic Program in the US (2022-23 school year).
Reflecting on the past 11 years with both a boy and a girl attending Westminster, I honestly wouldnt change a thing about our experience. Drew Charter School Junior/ Senior Academy (Yates Campus) - Atlanta Holly j: This is a great school HOWEVER it’s been way to much fighting! 12th grade boys have been jumping on 9th grade boys!!!! The administrators tend to sweep these things under the rug. Just basically giving the older boys a slap on the wrist & it’s SICK! I DEFINITELY WOULDNT RECOMMEND! How are kids suppose to go to school, feel safe & learn if they are getting jumped on not only that knowing that the administrators are going to do nothing about it.
