We have been a part of the Intown family for a few years now and truly could not imagine sending our kids anywhere else! It is a hidden gem in the community!! The small class sizes allow for the teachers to truly know your child as a whole person, and the integrated curriculum makes learning come to life for the kids. The teachers are absolutely phenomenal and passionate about teaching. In a profession that has its members leaving other schools in droves, there are multiple staff members who have been at Intown for many years and still love coming to work every day. As for kids with learning differences, the process of getting supports and accommodations in place could not be more supportive. Technology is not used in the youngest grades (which we greatly appreciate), and there is a slow introduction to it in late elementary school. Standardized testing begins in 3rd grade but only occurs once per year and no one makes a big deal out of it. Despite the lack of "teaching to the test," Intown students regularly perform at a high level on these assessments. These are but a few of the reasons we love this sweet school and are so thankful to be a part of it! read more

Writing as a second generation Intown Community School parent and now grandparent, with 2 of our grandchildren currently enrolled. Our 3 children spent their elementary and middle school years at ICS, and the impact on their lives was immeasurable in the school's wholistic approach to learning, the community of care we felt, and the lifelong friendships they developed. I believe ICS was integral to their success in high school, college, grad schools for each, and life in general. The kids who graduated from ICS to our local public high school (and a private school for one) had the reputation for being exceptionally well prepared for thinking and thriving as high schoolers. I am seeing now with our grandchildren that-while the church has grown in size, facilities and excellent technology-the learning principles and commitment to care remain the same. The head, the teachers, and the community bring the same love for learning, students, and each other. From what I hear from our son, the tuition is an incredible value as well! read more

Coming from a large public elementary school, the difference that Intown has made on my boys is like comparing 'Night and Day'. In public school, the boys came home everyday unhappy and angry at any little thing. From day one at Intown, the boys have been all smiles, happy after school, and want to share what they have learned at school that day. Unlike public school that required excessive MAP standardized testing, Intown provides teachers with more time and support to teach concepts and lessons, instead of spending all of their time "teaching to the test". Intown is great academically. As a neuroscientist, I'm thrilled with the emphasis on phonics and fine motor skills (e.g. cursive writing), which are proven teaching methods for young developing brains. I am so happy that we made to switch to Intown. Not only do my boys love school again, but they are catching up on their COVID learning losses from public school. We are so thankful for Intown, it has been a true blessing for our family. I highly recommend this school! read more

Intown has been an incredible fit for our family. Our boys started there in 5th and 7th grades. This is our fourth (and sadly final year) at ICS. We have experienced an incredibly caring faculty and small class sizes that allows teachers to get to know all students--including ones in other grades they aren't teaching. Intown families are expected to be involved. Involvement is flexible to meet your schedule. My husband and I both work full-time outside the home, and can be involved and supportive in a way that fits our schedule. You really get to know the other parents and the generosity, kindness and help among the community is unmatched. I love the K-8 environment where younger grades are matched with reading and chapel buddies from upper grades. The ability for the older kids to be role models for the younger kids and around all ages of kids throughout the day helps with the development and groundedness of the middleschoolers. School leadership and administration is top notch. read more

I am new to Intown, and as a Christian educator for the past 15 years, I have been impressed with the genuine love and warmth of the community. The teachers share their faith and connect with students in academic, social, and spiritual matters. The parents come together as a village and support one another in a meaningful, intentional way. The Christ-centered, well-rounded education the children receive asks them to not only know the content, but be able to reflect on it in such a way that they can apply it in their lives. It's so natural the way the humanities program integrates multiple disciplines, the way the fine arts content is seamlessly woven into the curriculum, and the way children are encouraged to fully explore God's world in hands-on science classes. Being encouraged to be curious and love learning for learning's sake is at the heart of what they do, and it's evident in the success the students have as they enter high school, college, and the workforce! read more

Our family is grateful for the spiritual, relational, and academic foundation that Intown has provided for our children in elementary and middle school. -small class sizes -hands-on learning over laptop learning -develop public speaking skills (oratorical, Shakespeare play) -spend time outdoors (nature studies, science labs) -high parental engagement = close knit community -proactive communication between teachers & administration to families increases transparency and sets clear expectations My middle schooler feels more challenged at Intown in humanities and science than she was at the gifted program in her neighborhood elementary school. My elementary school student has had patient and understanding teachers. Pro tip: Be prepared to carpool children to/from school and sports/clubs as there is no bus. No after care past 3 pm most days. read more

I've had three children at the school and tell people that, even if I had the choice of any school in Atlanta regadless of tuition/geography, I would still choose Intown. The teachers are skilled and care individually for your child. Class sizes are small. Parent involvement is high. The environment is supportive and friendly. Students are really well prepared for high school. Christian faith being a part of the education is very real (all teachers are believers and all families must have at least one parent who attends church, for example) but I don't feel like kids get hit over the head with it. In short, it's a great little school. read more

Intown Community School has been the perfect place for both of my children. My children have been taught in a way that has given them a deep love of learning and understanding. They love exploring the world around them and are thriving at school. The comprehensive humanities program is amazing, and my children have learned so much in the hands-on math and science, foreign language, fine arts, and preforming arts programs. My oldest has now moved on to high school and was completely prepared for this transition. She is thriving in advanced and AP classes. read more

I have four children at Intown Community School this year. My oldest is in 8th grade and started in 1st, and I can't say enough good things about the school. The communication is top notch, the education is amazing, and I love that they include nature studies and so much outdoor time. Their focus not just on academics but on character and critical thinking is so important. Lastly, it's by far the best value for dollar when it comes to private schools inside the perimeter. read more

Intown Community School has a very special place in our family's hearts. The community of students, parents, faculty, and staff is more connected than any other school community we have been a part of. You won't find a better bang for your tuition buck in Atlanta. Our children have been deeply loved by their teachers over the years and have been seen, known, and heard. Our oldest is now in high school and was well prepared for that transition. read more

We have been at Intown for 5 years now and all three of our children attend in 6th Grade, 2nd and Kindergarten currently. I cannot recommend this school enough as a covenant Christian school. My children have thrived here and my wife and I have joined a community of like minded parents who come alongside each other in the Christian education of our children. We love Intown and recommend it to other families in the area. read more

All three of our children attend or have attended Intown Community School, which has been our family's best decision! Intown fosters a love of learning, an appreciation of God's creation, and a holistic historical timeline in a nurturing Christian environment where they are known, prayed for, challenged to excel, given grace when they fail, and deeply loved. What more could a parent hope for in a school?! read more

Intown's teachers are among the best I have ever known. This is our third year at Intown and they recruit educators that are intentional about creating an environment of learning that is interesting, caring and supportive for all types of learners. The teachers also lead a devotional each morning with the kids, which is such a gift to their students and families. read more

Both of my kids have been thriving at Intown for the last couple of years. One is in 8th and the other is 5th now and they feel very supported by the teachers.
