Founded in 1909, Tallulah Falls School is an independent, co-educational international boarding and day school serving more than 500 students in grades 4-12. 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 of 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.

The mission of Tallulah Falls School is to prepare each student to thrive in life by elevating character and intellect in a challenging and diverse college preparatory environment.  

The school’s mission is woven into every area – from academics to athletics to fine arts to clubs to social events.  

Tallulah Falls School was founded in 1909. The founder of our school moved to this area to retire but she realized there were very few educational opportunities in this region. And she began teaching kids how to read on the front porch of her cottage. And her love and passion for for education led to the founding of pillowball school in 1909.

One of the strengths of Tallulah Falls School is the sense of community that you see within the body of students and faculty. And just to see the looks on the students faces we're truly invested in them on a daily basis. Just being a small, private independent school gives you the opportunity to actually reach out and take a little bit more time to go reach a student.

When we consider a student for admission to a Tallulah Falls School, we're looking at many different aspects of the student's career. We want to make sure their student who loves to learn, who wants to be engaged in the educational process, we're going to do hands-on learning, we're going to move around, we're going to take trips. We want students who have parents who have committed to the same aspects of their education. So we look at their attendance for instance. And really, we talk about what their life goals are, because we're preparing students to be more than just do this. We want them to be leaders.

The school does a great job helping our families through financial aid.

One of the things we say as our founding mission is that we want to educate students from all walks of life who want to make it affordable. 75% of our students do receive financial aid annually. Really, if you were to summarize, the mission of the school it's to: elevate, intellect, and character in a college preparatory environment. We don't want students just to be good students. We want them to be good citizens. We want them to make good moral choices in their lives.

Really, it comes down to how we approach education. You know, one of the things I think is really unique about too little fall school as you'll find across campus. There are people who've served here for a lifetime. They do it because they want to see students have a better opportunity and a better life, which goes back to the original founding of the school.
