School History

Atlanta Trilingual Academy was founded in 2012 as one of the first three language immersion schools in the USA. Accredited through elementary school, ATA offers one of the only places in the world where a child can learn three languages in a school environment from age 1 through elementary school.
In 2021, ATA began offering several class options to students who are unable to attend class in-person at our Atlanta campus. These classes give students anywhere in the world the opportunity to experience professional teaching at the highest level.

Origin of Online Program - COVD-19 Pandemic

Quality Standards

The Atlanta Trilingual Academy instructional team had 14 months of practice during the COVID-19 pandemic delivering instruction online. That experience allowed us to measure the quality of the teaching we could maintain online as a school. We made the determination that we could continue to meet our high internal standards for quality with an online program.
