Adventures Abroad
Beyond the classroom experiences are plentiful at Tallulah Falls School. Fun outings and experiential learning destinations dot the school’s master calendar throughout the academic year.
Grade-level class trips in most grades offer a chance for students to learn away from home. Seventh-grade students travel to Chattanooga, eighth-graders travel to Coastal Georgia, freshmen travel to the Florida Space Coast, and juniors spend a week in Charleston, SC.
Seniors can look forward to monthly off-campus outings and special meals, including an exhilarating day at the Highlands Aerial Park.
Even the younger students leave Northeast Georgia to attend a Gwinnett Stripers game, visit the Georgia Aquarium, experience Zoo Atlanta, attend performances at the Center for Puppetry Arts and the Alliance Theater, and travel to the Mercedes Benz Stadium for STEM activities, among several other outings.
Weekend trips designed for the boarding students but open to day students offer many outstanding experiences to highlight the weekends.

According to school nurse Leigh-Anne McClellon, it was a bit unsettling to see the sky light up in an ususual way, but the group quickly realized they were experiencing something rare. “It’s called the jellyfish effect, created by the not yet visable rays of the sun reflecting off the rocket’s exhaust plume high in the atmosphere,” McClellon said.
