Great Value
We realize that Christian education is expensive and can be a financial sacrifice.  But, at Atlanta North School we have worked hard to make it affordable.  Our parent church located on the same property has subsidized much of the cost to run a school making our education more affordable than many other schools in our area.  The tuition cost at the Atlanta North School is about 1/3 to 1/2 less than most private Christian schools. Without compromising quality we make private Christian education affordable with keen administration and funding assistance from our accompanying church. To see our tuition costs click here.

Technology
Our technology project was launched a few years ago when involved parents wanted to improve the school curriculum. A technology committee was formed and the wheels were set in motion.

Our technology package consists of a centralized computer lab which houses the 'nerve center' for video, data, satellite and telephone systems. The lab has enough computers for our largest class size.

Each classroom has a wall-mounted TV monitors with VCR, all attached to 'command central' media news room. With these monitors, students can view educational programming from satellite, make programs of their own, as well as keep up with current world happenings. 

Morning News Program
Students take turns anchoring the Morning News. The news includes school happenings, world events and the day's weather. The program is broadcast live to each classroom through closed circuit video on 32" TVs located in each classroom. The program gives an excellent opportunity to practice communication skills and keeps the students involved in the school events.

Atlanta North School is SACS Accredited
