Why Choose Atlas?

Our Mission:

Atlas prepares and empowers all students for success on their post-graduate paths through educational excellence, character development, and community engagement.

These three pillars are what make Atlas "beyond a school".

education

We set high educational standards through a rigorous program for our students—notice we didn’t say “academic standards.”

Why? Because real education teaches academics (knowledge), but doesn’t stop there. It adds wisdom—the ability to critically think and use their knowledge to problem solve— and creativity—imaginative, inventive, and artistic thinking—with diverse world experiences so students can apply that knowledge and communicate it effectively in writing and in speaking.

Atlas goes beyond education by offering

  • A World Classroom

  • Arts + Sports

  • Never a Dull Moment

character

Students who study academics without also building character are like producing a car without an engine— on the surface, it appears to have everything it needs to move forward, but will stop far short of its destination.

We pair our academics with a focused character program designed to strengthen the grit and resolve our scholars need to move forward and chart their own course.

Atlas builds character by emphasizing:

  • Core Values

  • Personal Health

  • Serving Others

community

Education happens beyond school, at home, on the field, and in everyday life. Atlas builds a team of teachers—our skilled staff, to parents, coaches, families, and neighbors—and actively brings them together to educate students. With that kind of help, imagine how much better “back-to-school” might be.

Atlas creates a strong community by offering:

  • Family Support

  • College + Career

  • Lifetime Commitment
