About International Academy of Smyrna

The International Academy of Smyrna (IAS) is a great place to learn and be curious. It's in the lively city of Smyrna, GA. IAS is one of Georgia's most welcoming elementary schools. It serves grades K–5 and has a close-knit community of 301 students with an impressive 11:1 student–teacher ratio. Students here do much more than read and write in books. They learn about other cultures through Spanish classes, build empathy through community service projects, and do better in reading and math than students in traditional schools by 19 points in 4th grade. The Mayor's Education Award went to IAS, which combines hard work in school with caring and leadership. JaMonet Rice, an inspiring alumna, is a great example of how it has changed lives. IAS is ranked #33 among Georgia charter schools. It is located in a friendly neighborhood in Smyrna where the median home price is about $465,000. This shows how strong and supportive the community is.
