International Charter School of Georgia Opens 2024-2025 Enrollment Period

The State Charter School Commission (SCSC) of Georgia has expressed its intent to extend the contract with the International Charter Academy of Georgia (ICAGeorgia) for an additional five years.

This renewal decision stems from ICAGeorgia’s track record of academic excellence and community engagement. The forthcoming approval of the school’s plan to introduce a Grade 6 middle school further shows ICAGeorgia’s commitment to growth and development.

Established in 2018, ICAGeorgia has achieved a “Content Mastery” score of 91.4%, placing it in the top 18% among all elementary schools in Georgia.

Notably, the school has a student mathematics score of 98.28%, showcasing its dedication to academic achievement.

ICAGeorgia sets itself apart through its Japanese teaching approach, prioritizing problem-solving skills over rote memorization, coupled with a high-quality dual-language curriculum.

The school’s commitment to maintaining a diverse student body, selecting and retaining exceptional teachers and engaging students in global cultural activities has been crucial to its academic success.

Signature events such as the rice pounding festival (Mochitsuki), Japanese calligraphy (Kakizome), Hispanic Week and Black History Month enrich the educational experience.

The involvement of parents and teachers in local festivals, including the Peachtree Corners Children Festival, Atlanta JapanFest and Japan Day at the Georgia State Capitol, underscores ICAGeorgia’s dedication to community engagement and service.

The school enjoys robust support from the Consulate General of Japan in Atlanta and collaborates with organizations like the Japan-America Society of Georgia and the Japanese Chamber of Commerce of Georgia.

Enrollment is open now for school year 2024 to 2025. Learn more here or email Jessica Kennett Cork, Secretary of the Governing Board for ICAGeorgia at j.cork@internationalcharteracademy.org.
