Support The Children's School
Your Gift Makes the TCS Experience Possible
Why Your Gift Matters
What makes The Children’s School so special isn’t merely a building or a program. It’s the moments that shape a child’s future. It’s the confidence to take on new challenges, the joy of learning something new, and the caring community that inspires every student to thrive.
When you give to the TCS Fund, you enable these moments. Your generosity supports exceptional teachers, hands-on learning, including outdoor education, and financial aid, ensuring more children experience the transformative power of a TCS education.
Your gift helps children discover who they are and who they can become.
For more information on making a gift, please call Head of School Elizabeth Miller (404-873-6985).

GA Private School
Tax Credit
Help Make TCS Accessible
Georgia Private School Tax Credit
There is another way to help a child experience TCS.
Through the Georgia Private School Tax Credit Program (GPT), you can redirect a portion of your Georgia state tax liability to provide need-based financial aid to students attending private schools.
The Children’s School partners with Apogee Scholarship Fund, a state-approved student scholarship organization, to administer the program.
Your contribution can provide financial aid to a TCS student while giving you a dollar-for-dollar Georgia state tax credit for the tax year in which your contribution is made.
