The New School Atlanta

The school at a glance

The New School Atlanta offers a nonsectarian, project-based high-school option in the Cabbagetown area. Its official FAQ lists 2026–27 tuition at $22,250 and reports that about 30% of students receive need-based assistance, with an average award around $8,000. That average is useful context but should never be presented as the amount a new family will receive. The school explicitly says it cannot fund every household that demonstrates need. Applicants use Clarity for aid after beginning the admissions process, with a February 12, 2027 deadline for the next school year. Families should request the full fee and deposit schedule because tuition alone may not capture every required expense. This candidate adds a distinct educational model and a documented aid pathway. Confirm the written award, program fit, and any state-scholarship eligibility before deciding whether the total is affordable.
