Since Marist School’s founding in 1901, the Society of Mary has shared its educational mission with thousands of students and their families in the Atlanta area. Our mission is to form the whole person in the image of Christ through instruction grounded in religious values, the teachings of the Catholic Church, and the spirit of the Society of Mary. This mission is advanced through communal pursuit of excellence in academic, religious, extracurricular, leadership, and service programs.

Through its association with the Society of Mary, the school is part of a unique global network. Marist schools can be found throughout North America as well as in Ireland, France, Germany, New Zealand, Peru, Senegal, Fiji, and Australia. These connections give Marist an international perspective in a society that is increasingly culturally diverse as we dialogue with our sister schools overseas.
