The Heiskell School

A number of Heiskell graduates continue their secondary education with great success at the best schools in Atlanta and at top boarding schools. Heisell prepares students for the next level.

The Heiskell School is such a rare find! Our two children have grown so much academically and spiritually because we have found a school that we have partnered with to "Train up" our children in what matters most. Academically they are challenged and Spiritually they are nurtured by the wonderful teachers and staff. We are blessed to be a part of the School Family!

The Heiskell School is a wonderful school. Both of my daughters started The Heiskell School when they were 3 years old. I am so grateful to The Heiskell School for a multitude of reasons. I am most grateful that my girls are learning The Gospel everyday and in everything they do. The teachers are always loving! My 5th grader loves all of her teachers so much that she has a picture of every one of her teachers since she was 3 years old at home on her desk. Both of my girls have grown so much spiritually and academically since they started school. I am often surprised at how mature they are in comparison to other children their same age.

Great school for academics and even better for structure and learning about Christianity. The family atmosphere makes the children feel special.

I am a former Heiskell School student now headed for Jr.High. For me it was NOT a nurturing or for that matter loving place. Often times there were very apparent signs of teachers favoring one student over another, which made me feel terrible and misunderstood. The teachers are overly strict and more then often on the computers doing personal tasks than teaching. The end of the year programs are terrible and often times they refuse to turn on the air in the gym. Their "Great Performances" are the not GREAT at all! They never let other children have their shining moments it's the same kids with all of the solos and leading lines every year! My own parents didn't even know that I had such a great singing voice until I left. The music program is very strict with no learning of other types of music other than Christain. I am so happy that I'm out of that enviorment!

Great school for parents who want a Christian education that challenges academically and teaches character at the same time. The schools accepts parent involvement to an amazing degree with lots of family days, prayer meetings, and invitations to spend time with your child in the classroom. My child carries her lunch so I am not familiar with dining issues. Yes. The school is not focused upon teaching the parent. I've never been offered a Coke.

Children are the people who attend schools and who most benefit from the school's "product", but the parents are the customers. That is particularly the case at a private school where business principals must be applied or failure will ensue. The Heiskell School could be a great school. But it has lost touch with the customer. Perhaps it has never been very in touch with parents. Unfortunately, Heiskell staff feel the customer is better seen and not heard. They appear to have little or no intention of engaging the parents in any meaningful way. This is a very insular place. Very sad, indeed.

Look behind the curtain of Miss Virginia's very charming personality. Beware this school does not embody her spirit. You will be told the school is a "teacher driven" school. How true that is. Flexibility is lacking almost completely. Nutritious food is nearly nonexistant. Mr. Heiskell is a former Coca-Cola exec and Coke is worshiped as God himself is worshiped. Chic-fil-A sponsors the school and vice versa. Foods loaded with sugar are distributed with vigor. Don't let the charm of Miss Virginia seduce you.

A wonderful strong Christian school. The Heiskell School teaches the children about the love of Jesus Christ everyday. My children memorize bible verses weekly, and love reading the bible. The teachers are very loving and caring.
