Imagine International Academy of Smyrna
We were initially skeptical about sending our daughter to IIAS, especially in its first year of existience. Coming from a private school we were concerned with her not maintaining her ability to read on a higher grade level and adjusting to larger classrooms. She has been thee since kindergarten and she continues to blossom and grow! She is a 3rd grader and reading on 5th grade level, she is also ahead in math and other subjects. Our son came a couple of years later and he is doing his thing as well. We are proud of our children and our association with IIAS. I am so glad we held on and stayed with the school through all of the growing pains! Mrs. Clark is a wonderful principal and she really does love and care for our children. The staff and teachers are great and we look forward to our childrens continued growth as a Smyrna Sharks!

The principal and her staff are very dedicated when it comes to the well being of the children in her care. I am very pleased with the progress of my children (8 & 6) at IIAS. They continue to perform above grade and the IB program is second to none. I would recommend this school to anyone.
