The Heiskell School has been offering an independent, non-denominational education since 1949.

Using an innovative blend of traditional and modern methodologies, the school provides a teacher-directed education that integrates the word of God into everyday academics, instilling leadership qualities and developing the strength of character that provides the foundation for a successful future as followers of Christ and "lights of the world".

The Heiskell School is situated in the beautiful residential community of Buckhead near the Governor's Mansion in northwest Atlanta. The Heiskell School draws students from all parts of the metropolitan area.
