My child graduated from the sixth grade in June 2008. The Children's School's expertise in elementary education prepared her academically and socially. We couldn't have been happier. Two other points; we really miss the parent community (none like it around) and yes, the admissions director at the

Academic emphasis varies from grade to grade and teacher to teacher, but the school, in line with the best pedagogy, does not force young children to sit at their desks and think linearly. The children

The school also works to provide opportunities for, and to encourage the children to recognize and prize their gifts in, artistic endeavors, physical fitness and sportsmanship, and social learning. This is the only school in Atlanta, and I've seen plenty, where the faculty works together to discourage bullying and to teach the kids other ways to deal with and interact with each other. Read less

We are very disappointed with TCS. Our children deserve the best and in making this choice for their education we have failed them completely. We are anxiously awaiting the end of our contract so that we can transfer them to a school where they will actually learn something.

Overall, this school has a beautiful campus, great level of diversity, and a friendly environment with some great families, teachers, and staff.

Parents are provided some information in great detail, but in our experience, some significantly important issues were presented haphazardly and with little consideration. The level of academic strength is unclear to us and a concern of several current and past families.
