Tallulah Falls School
Tallulah Falls, Georgia
Tallulah Falls School is an independent, coed boarding and day school for 260 students in grades 6-12. The quality of the academic program and the academic success of students are priorities that form the foundation for the School. A dedicated and highly qualified faculty, outstanding facilities, a broad and challenging curriculum, small classes, and eager, motivated students all contribute to the accomplishment of academic goals.
Tallulah Falls School is situated on a pristine, wooded campus on the southern slopes of Cherokee Mountain in northeast Georgia. Only 90 miles from metropolitan Atlanta, Tallulah Falls School's setting affords its students the best qualities of rural simplicity and urban sophistication. Students find themselves immersed in an atmosphere that not only fosters academic excellence but also encourages an appreciation for nature and the preservation of natural resources. Hiking, camping, cycling, whitewater rafting, horseback riding and snow skiing offer students the opportunity to experience the wonders of nature, while weekend excursions to Atlanta to visit world-class museums or to attend plays or professional sports events provide students with a balanced perspective of their world.
Incredible facilities and academics in a natural mountain environment – welcome to Tallulah Falls!
