Education thrives on diversity
Augusta Prep is located in beautiful Augusta, Georgia, just a two hour drive to the east of Atlanta. The school has welcomed international students for more than 30 years. Our small classes, close-knit community, and opportunities for leadership and involvement make it an ideal private school for the college-bound student whose native language is not English. We believe that having diverse cultures represented on our campus and in our classrooms enriches the education of the entire Augusta Prep community.
International students are warmly welcomed, connecting with their teachers and making friends.
Augusta Prep is proud to partner with New Oasis International Education for interested international applicants. New Oasis will assist during the application process, provide homestay placement if needed, and offer general support.
