Private Christian Education · Norcross, Georgia
A distinctly Christian education for every stage of learning.
Still Waters International Academy serves students from age one through 12th grade, in a school where strong academics and spiritual formation grow together.
You want a school where your child is known by name.
Choosing a school is about more than finding an open seat.
You want somewhere your child is cared for daily, challenged academically, and pointed toward something larger than themselves. Somewhere the teachers notice the small things and the day has a rhythm your child can count on.
At Still Waters, children begin each morning with worship and prayer, then move into a full day of structured learning. A one-year-old learning to walk and a high school senior earning college credit are part of the same community, shaped by the same mission.
Early learning rooted in love, structure, and faith.
Founded over 15 years ago for parents who prioritize genuine care, strong communication, and CHRIST at the core. Four age-specific classrooms mean your child is always with peers at the same stage.
A safe, nurturing start
Caring, trained teachers offer one-on-one attention and value every child as a gift from GOD.
Weekly science, Spanish, PE & art
ST²E²AM-based learning with weekly experiments that spark curiosity and critical thinking.
Abeka curriculum in Pre-K
High-level learning paired with daily worship, so children arrive at Kindergarten genuinely ready.
Daily updates for parents
Activities, meals, and behavior — often with photos. Parents are invited to observe and take part in class.

Care you can see, academics you can measure
A ministry of Still Waters Community Church, building confident and creative thinkers through a CHRIST Culture Education.
Faith woven through the day
Worship, prayer, and Scripture are part of the daily rhythm at every division — not a weekly assembly. In the Day School children act out Bible stories with puppets; in Elementary they lead chapel themselves; in High School they study Scripture in its original languages.
Real academic depth
Instruction draws on Abeka, Bob Jones, and PragerU curriculum resources. Partnerships with GA Virtual School and Ethos School broaden course options, and high schoolers earn college credit through three local institutions.
Individual attention
Caring, trained teachers offer one-on-one attention to build trust and value every child as a gift from GOD. Each division is led by a director who knows the students in their classrooms personally.
A secure environment
Facilities are clean, sanitized daily, and secured with digital sign-ins, childproofing, and clear emergency protocols — so every parent can feel confident about where their child spends the day.
Communication that goes both ways
Daily updates on activities, meals, and behavior, often with photos. Parents are encouraged to share updates and concerns, and are invited to observe and participate in their child's class.
A diverse school community
Our student body and staff represent a diversity of cultures, making the school a true reflection of GOD's people around the world — and preparing students for the world they'll actually enter.
A glimpse of the everyday
The small moments where learning, worship, and belonging actually happen.
The people who lead our classrooms
We want our early learners to explore and see the many wonderful things ELOHIM (GOD) has created, and form a connection to CHRIST and who HE is.Reyna GonzalezDirector, 1s and 2s Program
The goal of each classroom is not to pass on rote information, but to help students seek the truth through innovation, critical thinking, failure, and triumph.Tiffany ChiaDirector, Elementary School
GOD's presence is welcomed, real relationships are encouraged, and all manner of academic knowledge and skill is laid at the foot of the cross to HIS service.Sharon O'ConnorDirector, Middle & High School

Questions families ask
Still Waters serves students from age one through 12th grade. Our Day School covers ages 1 through Pre-Kindergarten in four age-specific classrooms. Elementary covers Kindergarten through 5th grade. Middle and High School covers 6th through 12th grade.
Still Waters International Academy is a private Christian school and a ministry of Still Waters Community Church. Even our Day School classrooms are a genuine first school experience — structured, curriculum-based, and led by directors who specialize in early childhood, rather than simple childcare.
Faith isn't a separate subject here. Children begin each day with worship and prayer, and spiritual formation is woven into every subject and conversation. Our teachers model CHRIST-like character while holding students to real academic expectations — the two grow together rather than competing.
The Pre-K, Elementary, and Middle and High School programs run Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM. The school calendar runs from August 1 through July 31. [[VERIFY_EXTENDED_HOURS]] Please confirm extended-day and full-time care options with the admissions team during your tour.
Instruction draws on Abeka, Bob Jones, and PragerU curriculum resources within a ST²E²AM-focused, project-based approach. Abeka is used in the Pre-K classroom as well. Partnerships with GA Virtual School and Ethos School expand online course options for older students.
Mornings open with chapel or announcements, then move through language arts, math, science and social studies, foreign language, lunch, recess, rest or quiet reading, and a rotating special. Day School specials rotate through PE, art, STEAM, and Spanish. Elementary rotates through theology, music, PE, art, and homesteading.
Day School families receive daily updates on activities, meals, and behavior, often with photos. Elementary families use Brightwheel to see updates throughout the school day. Parents are also invited to observe and participate in their child's class.
Tuition varies based on the child's program, age, and enrollment needs. The admissions team will review current tuition and availability with you during the tour process. Published Elementary rates and annual fees are listed on the main school website.
Please raise any accommodations privately with our admissions team. On the scheduling form you can simply indicate that you'd like to discuss accommodations, and the team will follow up directly rather than asking you to share details on a public form.
Absolutely, and we encourage it. Seeing how your child responds to the classrooms and teachers is often the clearest way to know whether Still Waters is the right fit for your family.
After your child completes seven weeks of enrollment, the eighth week of care is free. It isn't an immediate discount at signup. Eligibility and final terms are confirmed by the school.
Availability changes by classroom and age group. The fastest way to get an accurate answer is to schedule a tour — the admissions team will review current openings for your child's program while you're on campus.
Childhood is short. Where it begins matters.
The school your child walks into shapes how they see learning, themselves, and their purpose. Still Waters is a place where children are known, challenged, and pointed toward a limitless future — from their very first year through the day they graduate.
