Atlanta International School began accepting applications for its Sandy Springs Upper Campus for 2025 at the former Brandon School property.

High school students in grades 9-12 can enter the International Baccalaureate curriculum, including the Middle Years Programme for grades 9-10, and Diploma and Career-Related Programmes for grades 11-12, according to an Atlanta International School (AIS) news release.

The school will offer STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics), with real-world projects and STEAM diploma endorsement.

AIS represents more than 90 nationalities and offers more than 40 languages, including Arabic, French, German, Hindi, Korean, Chinese, and Spanish.

An AIS spokesperson told Rough Draft that numerous upgrades to the campus are being made. The dining facilities are being completely refitted, dormitories are being updated, and a new internet network will be installed throughout the 25-acre campus.

The campus also has brand-new sports facilities, including the first Mouratoglou Tennis Academy in Georgia. Patrick Mouratoglou famously coached tennis star Serena Williams.

Athletics will include soccer, basketball, volleyball, and tennis through the Mouratoglou Tennis Academy. Theater, music, visual arts, and international festivals will be part of campus life.

The opening of the Sandy Springs Upper School campus will increase the number of AIS students of 1,345 by an additional 70 boarding students and approximately 120 day students.
