Marist School is an independent, Roman Catholic, college-preparatory day school enrolling approximately 1,080 boys and girls in grades seven through twelve.
The mission of Marist School 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, a religious congregation of priests and brothers founded in France in 1836.
Since 1901, this mission has been advanced through communal pursuit of excellence in academic, religious, extracurricular, leadership, and service programs.
Marist students perform thousands of hours of community service at every grade level, and approximately 87 percent of the student body participates in more than 67 different extracurricular clubs and student organizations. Marist faculty have, on average, 19 years teaching experience, and 85 percent hold advanced degrees in their fields.
Marist School is located in Brookhaven (DeKalb County) on Ashford Dunwoody Road inside I-285.
