Harvard Learning School (HLS) is a private, co-educational K-12 institution located on a secure 12-acre campus in the northern suburbs of Atlanta, Georgia. Established in 2010, the school was conceived by a consortium of Harvard-trained educators and Emory University researchers who wanted to offer an evidence-based, globally-oriented college-preparatory program without the exclusivity of traditional New England boarding academies. The school is accredited by Cognia (formerly AdvancED) and is recognized by the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS).

Enrollment stands at 580 students, distributed fairly evenly: 180 in the lower school (K-5), 200 in the middle school (6-8), and 200 in the upper school (9-12). HLS aims to cap growth at around 650 so that the average class size remains 14 students, enabling a 7:1 student-to-teacher ratio. The diverse student body represents 43 home languages and 27 nationalities; 38 % of pupils identify as Black/African-American, 26 % as White/European-American, 20 % as Hispanic/Latino, 11 % as Asian-American, and 5 % as multiracial. Financial assistance is awarded to 34 % of families, with an average grant covering 65 % of tuition.

Academically, the school intertwines the gold-standard Harvard College Readiness Framework with the International Baccalaureate continuum. All juniors and seniors pursue the IB Diploma or individual IB certificates, while 11th-grade students accelerate through Georgia Tech-credit linear algebra and entrepreneurship seminars. Signature programs include:

• STEAM Research Institute: Four iodine-clean labs and four maker bays support student teams in synthetic biology, drone automation, and fintech modeling. Patents filed by 2023 graduates exceed 17.
• CIVICatLANTA: A semester-long urban economics studio in downtown Atlanta where seniors partner with city council offices to design, cost, and pilot neighborhood-level policy prototypes.
• World Language Immersion: Starting in Grade 3, every student chooses Mandarin, Arabic, or Spanish and completes at least one 3-week exchange in grades 8–10 (Beijing, Amman, or Seville). Upper-schoolers may add Korean or Portuguese in block schedule electives taught by native-speaker Ph.D. faculty.

Athletics, arts, and wellness run concurrently. The 46-acre joint-use Harvard-Shepherd Athletics Complex features two FIFA-sized turf fields, a six-lane miCoach-assisted track, a 50-meter pool, climbing gym, and six Title IX-compliant locker rooms. Students select from 24 varsity teams; the girls’ fencing squad has medaled at U.S. Youth Nationals six years running. Performing-arts facilities comprise a 760-seat proscenium theater with Meyer-CALD line array, six black-box studios with SM58-ready digital mixers, and galleries that rotate IB visual-arts exhibitions quarterly.

Co-curricular Policy & Social Enterprise Lab (PSEL) grants $3,000 seed awards to student-run nonprofits tackling metro-Atlanta food deserts and youth mental health. Every week, Wednesdays are reserved for Community Action Labs, when classes are suspended and students engage in field internships at Grady EMS, Cartoon Network Studios, or Underwriter Labs.

HLS graduates matriculate at a 100 % rate to four-year colleges, with 48 % opting for Top-25 U.S. News universities including Harvard, MIT, Duke, and Stanford. Additionally, arts conservatories (Juilliard, RISD) and service academies (USMA, USNA) remain popular pathways.

Tuition for 2024-25 is set at $33,900 (K-5), $38,700 (6-8), and $44,200 (9-12). Transportation from four metro counties, meals prepared by an in-house chef, and laptop/books are fully included. Admissions are need-blind, rolling, and based on an 80-minute cognitive-play assessment plus a family learning-plan interview rather than standardized exam scores.
