Schools in Greater Atlanta by Miriam Pia
Of course if you are a parent or are planning to have children then you want to know about the schools. Naturally the city and both Fulton and Dekalb counties have public schools. Children must be 5 years old in order to be entered into the public schools.
Keep in mind that nowadays public schools are only one option. There are a variety of ways to home school- on your own or in local groups of all political and religious types. There are private tutors. There are both private and parochial schools. This is important to be aware of: you can give your offsring options you may not have had yourself when you were a child.
It is highly advisable to seek a method of instruction that best suits your child’s disposition and preferences. Some children prefer more physical hands on environments. Home schooling and montessori schools are two of the ways to achieve this.
Whatever it is your family needs, remember that education is available and that public schools are one way, not the only way to provide an education for your “little ducklings”.
One final note: immunization, a home, citizenship…none of these are truly required to have your child allowed to go to school, but the schools will tell you that those are necessities.
