The International Charter School of Atlanta (ICSAtlanta) is a dual-language immersion (English, Spanish, French, German, and Mandarin) internationally-focused K-4th grade charter public school in Roswell, which will be available to all students regardless of district/county. When it opens its doors in August, it will be the first and only school of its kind in the state of Georgia.
Our Mission
The mission of ICSAtlanta is to prepare students for a successful future by promoting academic excellence through rigorous instruction, bilingualism, the integration of cultural competency and respect throughout all aspects of the curriculum which will enable students to make the most of their individual talents.
“In a fast-growing globally competitive market, our goal is to offer a bilingual and bicultural educational program for our Georgia students so that they can become more culturally astute in any social or business setting they may encounter in the future,” explains Marisa Kashapov, Chair of the ICSAtlanta Governing Board of Directors. “It is this cultural capital that will equip them with an advantage on professional and personal levels.”
Education Model
The school’s dual-language immersion approach to education focuses on using the second language as a medium of instruction from an academic and cultural perspective. In order for students to master language literacy as well as proficiency in all school subjects, this type of program requires a long-term commitment from the student and parents which must be embraced from the onset.
With this in mind, ICSAtlanta will add a grade every year through 12th grade.
Student Eligibility
Unlike other district charter schools, ICSAtlanta is open to all students regardless of what city or county they live in.
School Location
1335 Northmeadow Parkway
Roswell, GA 30076
