As a leading independent school just north of Metro Atlanta, High Meadows School’s community and programs are built on a foundation of best practices in progressive education, clear learning objectives, and the belief that education should be joyful, meaningful, and powerful.

Why do our families choose High Meadows? Here are just a few reasons:

  • HMS Parent

    Hands down THE best place for education! The progressive, nurturing environment has engaged my middle-schooler in a way that has allowed him to find who he is and where his talents truly are. The small classrooms, time outdoors, and integrated curricula have helped him understand how science, literature, and history all interact. I cannot recommend this wonderful school enough.

  • HMS Parent

    Having both my daughters attend High Meadows from preschool all the way through the Middle Years program was the best parenting decision my husband and I have made. The lovely part is now that they have graduated, I am seeing all the payoffs for the sacrifice in making this happen. Both of my girls excelled in public high school, and they transitioned from a very small graduating class at High Meadows to Roswell High School just fine. Their grades have been stellar, but most importantly, they both loved High School.

  • HMS Parent

    This school has been home and family for my children for 12 years. I can’t think of a better environment for them – they are engaged and have emerged with the curiosity, passion, and critical thinking skills to be lifelong learners who embrace diverse thinking styles and viewpoints, advocate for tolerance, and understand their responsibility as global citizens. Best decision we’ve ever made for our children.

  • HMS Parent

    HMS offers the environment I want my children to learn in: a sense of ownership, self-advocacy, and a balance of emotional and intellectual intelligence that creates the space to grow as individuals. 

  • HMS Parent

    We chose High Meadows because of its reputation for high academic performance and progressive, outdoor-based education. We also value the school’s focus on inclusion and exposure to a variety of cultures and backgrounds.
