School Notes Overview:


Tallulah Falls School is an independent, coeducational boarding and day school for 140+ students in grades 6-12. 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 for 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 admission is not tuition based. The generosity of the Georgia Federation of Women's Clubs, our owners, allows us to keep our tuition rates lower than many similar schools.
