Boarding School Directory
There are many benefits of a boarding school education. Boarding schools are an option for students seeking a more independent learning experience. Because students generally live on campus, learning takes place in and out of the classroom almost on a 24-hour basis.
When selecting a boarding school, it is important to visit the school campus, but representatives from many boarding schools visit Metro Atlanta throughout the year—contact each school for specific dates.

MCCALLIE SCHOOL Chattanooga, TN
Since 1905, McCallie’s all-boys environment has allowed the school to take a deliberate approach in meeting the unique needs of its students. Whether it’s serving a fourth meal because boys never seem to fill up at dinner or offering experiential and collaborative classes, McCallie is built to give boys a firstclass experience.
In 2019, Newsweek rated McCallie as the No. 68 STEM program in America and highest among all private schools in Georgia, Tennessee, the Carolinas, Virginia, Kentucky and Maryland. While this provides just one example of the caliber of McCallie’s curriculum and faculty, the school takes great pride in balancing academic rigor with nurturing support. Their learning center and writing center are home to eight full-time staff dedicated to helping boys give their best in the classroom.
McCallie’s 265 boarding students hail from 27 states and 12 countries (over 40 from Georgia), and living on campus provides them with more opportunities to expand their horizons outside of the classroom. Boarding students can participate in over 175 opportunities offered through the Weekend Activities program each school year, and boys also don’t mind the extra sleep they get before classes begin at 8:55 a.m.
With 46 sports teams competing in 15 interscholastic athletic programs, nearly twothirds of McCallie students participate in at least one sport, and many of their teams have earned national recognition and rankings. Extracurricular opportunities don’t stop with sports, though. In fact, McCallie offers over 50 additional afternoon activity options, as well as a robust music program that includes over 300 boys each school year. Whether it’s theater, robotics, tennis, yoga, beekeeping, outdoor programs, rocketry, e-sports, science research or entrepreneurship — there’s something for every boy at McCallie. Above all, the school’s dedicated faculty and staff seek to inspire and guide boys to become not only the best students, athletes and artists they can be, but they also seek to instill in them the qualities that will make them the best men they can be. McCallie is located at 500 Dodds Ave., Chattanooga, TN 37404. For more information, call 423-493-5848 or visit mccallie.org.
