Tallulah Falls School

Tallulah Falls School Preparing each student to thrive in life by elevating character and intellect in a challenging and diverse college-preparatory environment. Classes are small, with an average size of 10-15 students.

Founded in 1909, Tallulah Falls School is an independent, co-educational international boarding and day school serving more than 500 students in grades 4-12. Academics are the primary mission at Tallulah Falls School. The quality of the academic program and the academic success of students are priorities that form the foundation of 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 accredited by the Southern Association of Independent Schools (SAIS) and Cognia.

Tallulah Falls School is situated on a pristine, wooded campus built 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.

Tallulah Gorge State Park, with its interpretive education center, hiking trails and scenic vistas is a neighbor of the school in the town of Tallulah Falls. 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.

Here at TFS, we believe meaningful work matters. It teaches us to contribute, to take pride in what we do, and to understand that each of us has a role to play in building something greater than ourselves.

Today, we recognize the people whose work continues to move our communities and our country forward.

Happy Labor Day from TFS!

World history meets Battleship! Seventh-grade teacher Amanda Rogers turned a lesson on longitude and latitude into a game of strategy. Students placed bowling pins on a coordinate grid, then called out longitude and latitude coordinates to try to sink their opponents’ ships.

At TFS, learning is hands-on, collaborative, and sometimes a little competitive!

The Class of 2026 is settling into college campuses across the country and around the world. New classes, new rooms, new routines, and new friendships are all part of this next chapter.

We love seeing our alumni put what they learned at TFS into action, building lives filled with curiosity, purpose, and possibility. We also love hearing from our alumni and sharing their stories with the TFS community. Have a story to share? We’d love to hear it!

Our Middle School volleyball team traded their own court for courtside seats in Athens. The girls headed to UGA to cheer on the Bulldogs as they took on George Washington, bringing plenty of TFS spirit. UGA swept the match in three sets, and our girls got to see high-level volleyball up close while enjoying time together off the court. Just another way TFS students learn, connect, and make memories together.

Learning to get out on a lake in a kayak or on a paddleboard is about more than learning a new skill.
It’s about taking time to explore something beautiful. Pausing to look at a bright blue sky reflected on sparkling water. Feeling the breeze. Meeting a friend. Becoming acquainted with a place.
In these moments, students become invested in their community and the responsibility to preserve it. They become curious about their environment and find the courage to try something new.
This is Outdoor Education at TFS.

Take a peek at the newest class here at TFS. Our fourth graders are experimenting with primary colors, reviewing vocabulary, exploring the solar system, strengthening math skills, and getting one-on-one support from their teachers. And it looks like enjoying an ice cream treat too! We are off to a great start!

Today was a great day to be an eighth grader!

In science, Heather Henriques’ students put dimensional analysis to the test by using converted measurements to make fudge.

In history, Brian Long’s students taste-tested branded vs. generic sodas and popcorn while exploring branding, scarcity, diminishing utility, and consumer choice.

And the yearbook staff captured it all while putting their photography skills to work.

Math. Economics. Science. Photography. Fudge. Just another great day to be an eighth grader at TFS!

Some of the best conversations happen over a warm cup of coffee.

No agenda. No speeches. Just a chance to connect, get to know one another, ask questions, and spend time with members of the TFS community.

This week, our fourth-, fifth-, and sixth-grade parents met for coffee with Carol, our Lower and Middle School Academic Dean; Ashley, our Student Activities Coordinator; Jennifer, our Middle School Nurse; Tamara, our Media Specialist; and Tammy, our Administrative Assistant.

Good questions, good conversations, and a great way to start the year together.
