Atlanta Jewish Academy

Atlanta Jewish Academy is a premier, college preparatory, co-educational, preschool-12th grade, independent Jewish Day School, guided by modern orthodox values and principles. AJA pursues the ideals of community, tradition, individual development, and educational innovation. AJA seeks to develop the whole person for college and life by fostering a love of Torah, Israel, and all Jewish people through excellent general studies and Judaic studies education within an inclusive, nurturing environment. AJA is located on a state-of-the-art facility in the wooded Sandy Springs neighborhood of Atlanta, Georgia. The school serves a religiously diverse Jewish population coming from greater Atlanta and beyond. We are in the process of building a $10M high school addition to bring two historic schools onto one innovative location; more than $6M was raised before the campaign was announced. We offer a rich educational experience from a cutting-edge Reggio Emilia-Inspired preschool to an excellent upper school with a deep STEM program, a broad range of AP courses, and individualized advanced study.
