What they do

IN A WORLD BECOMING EXPONENTIALLY MORE COMPLEX, GIRLS WILL FACE CHALLENGES IN COLLEGE and BEYOND THAT WILL REQUIRE CURIOSITY, CREATIVITY, COLLABORATION, and CONFIDENCE to BE SOLVED. AT ATLANTA GIRLS SCHOOL (AGS), WE TEACH GIRLS to BE WORLD-CLASS PROBLEM SOLVERS. OUR CURRICULUM and CULTURE EMERGE FROM A DISTINCT VISION of WHAT GIRLS MUST LEARN INDIVIDUALLY and COLLECTIVELY to BECOME THOUGHTFUL and CAPABLE LEADERS. AGS PROVIDES A CHALLENGING COLLEGE-PREPARATORY PROGRAM IN A LEARNING ENVIRONMENT DESIGNED to FOSTER THE FULL POTENTIAL of EACH STUDENT and to ENABLE HER to BECOME A VITAL CONTRIBUTOR to OUR COMPLEX GLOBAL SOCIETY. WE ACHIEVE THIS BY USING PROVEN and EMERGING EDUCATIONAL TECHNIQUES TAILORED to HOW GIRLS LEARN, INTEGRATING BIG-PICTURE THINKING, HIGH EXPECTATIONS, and LEADING-EDGE TECHNOLOGIES. OUR GIRLS LEARN to TAKE APPROPRIATE RISKS, BE COURAGEOUS LEADERS, GIVE BACK to THEIR COMMUNITIES, and PROJECT PERSONAL CONFIDENCE and COMPETENCE IN ALL THEY DO.
