Student Life

Summary: Brandon Hall requires that each student participate in at least one co-curricular/extracurricular organization or team sport during the year and provides a wide variety of clubs and organizations to join. Each organization establishes its own mission, criteria for membership, and activities for the year.

Brandon Hall holds an assembly in the fall for clubs and organizations to present an overview of their mission and activities. Students sign up and attend organizational meetings. Once a student has made a commitment to a club, he or she is expected to attend and to adhere to the requirements. Some clubs may impose dues approved in advance by the administration.

Students may participate in more than one activity, provided they can meet the attendance and other requirements. Students who sign up for an organization that meets during the school day must be in attendance.

The school encourages students to participate in the creation of new student organizations.

Summary: Arts: The mission of the fine arts department is to provide equal opportunities for all students to discover the enriching power, the intellectual excitement, and the joy of competence in the arts. Artistic skills and knowledge will be unlocked through a developmentally-based program of instruction that offers both arts-focused and arts-integrated educational experiences; and promotes meaningful exploration and expression for all Brandon Hall students.

Athletics: A member of Atlanta Athletic Conference (AAC) and Georgia Independent School Association (GISA), Brandon Hall fields teams at the Varsity, Junior Varsity, and Middle School levels.

The school recognizes each student's athletic skills and experience and allows student athletes the opportunity to participate in interscholastic or intramural competition.

All boarders are required to participate on an athletic team or in fine arts or another proved activity each season unless otherwise approved by the administration.

In keeping with the mission of the school, the athletic program promotes a positive, competitive environment, emphasizing physical fitness, individual and group effort, positive attitudes, self-discipline, good sportsmanship, the art of winning and losing graciously, and respect for individual differences, talents, and skill levels.

Summary: As a college preparatory school, Brandon Hall School also assists its students in researching and selecting appropriate colleges and universities that will fulfill their academic needs and interests.

Students must apply to a minimum of two colleges and be accepted to one in order to fulfill their graduation requirement from Brandon Hall. English teachers work closely with students on any required essays. All application materials are reviewed by the college advisor and are submitted from the school to the college to insure that all required forms and information have been completed.

Our goal for Brandon Hall students is to not only have success in high school, but to continue that success throughout their college career. The College Advisement office is dedicated to assisting students in finding the right college focusing on research, accountability, and communication. With the CA office, parents and students work together to narrow down a list of colleges to apply to that suits their needs and their aspirations.
