Our Mission

Our program was founded on a powerful belief: that education should open doors—not only to college, but to the world. For over two decades, North Cobb’s School for International Studies has cultivated a unique community where students are seen, challenged, and supported. As a magnet school rooted in cultural inquiry and academic rigor, we prepare students for impact—locally and globally.
