Our school is growing, with our new second location in Lawrenceville, continuing the afternoon/afterschool classes in the French track and accommodating more students in the existing grade levels in Sandy Springs.
I hope you are able to take a good look around our site to get a taste and feel for the day to day life in school, however it is only by visiting our campus that you will be able to really appreciate the diverse, busy and happy atmosphere created by the students and staff.

OUR MISSION
To provide a demanding international education that will challenge students to become responsible, effective and caring world citizens, who will help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect for the other members of the community and the environment.
Friendly Environmental Policies
Tabula Rasa staff believes in the old saying "healthy mind in a healthy body". The school offers natural and organic healthy eating options for the students (with steamed vegetables everyday for lunch and fresh fruit for snack, no fried food, no sodas and sugar based drinks – only water). The snack every day includes fresh fruit. Families are allowed to bring extra snacks, as long as it is healthy choice. Our lunch does not contain preservatives or fried food, it includes as many organic ingredients as possible.
