DESCRIPTION Since 1905, McCallie has remained committed to providing an outstanding college preparatory program for boys. Our own experience, as well as independent research, has shown that secondary education within a single-sex environment offers fewer distractions, allows for a greater number of leadership opportunities and promotes a school culture where boys can achieve without reservation. McCallie features over 40 student-centered organizations and an outstanding array of extra-curricular activities that include nationally recognized programs in athletics, in the arts, and community service. Our students also participate in a coordinate program with Girls Preparatory School (GPS). MISSION McCallie School is dedicated to the academic, physical, spiritual, and emotional growth of boys as they prepare for college and life. The school seeks to inspire and motivate them to: strive for excellence in every endeavor; pursue intellectual and spiritual truth; lead lives of honor; act responsibly in personal, family, and community relationships; and demonstrate concern for the welfare of others.
