Holy Innocents' Episcopal School (HIES) is a PK–12 private, Episcopal, co-educational college-preparatory day school in Sandy Springs, Georgia, United States.[4] It is located in the Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta.
It is the largest Episcopal parish day school in the United States and the only PK-12-grade Episcopal school in Georgia. In recent years, the school has undergone expansion: constructing a new 65,000 sq. foot STEM building, adding a new middle school building, doubling the size of the gymnasium and athlete-training complex, and adding two on-campus football/soccer/lacrosse fields.
Academics
[edit]Recent academic initiatives include the Laptop Program. Fifth- through twelfth-grade students are leased Apple MacBook Airs by the school, which are programmed with a range of productivity, research, and multimedia software central to their classes. The laptops are replaced prior to the start of a student's ninth-grade year. The Upper School's Program for Global Citizenship includes Comparative Religion, World Literature, Environmental Science, increased foreign language requirements, foreign study, and international service projects. Holy Innocents�� also offers more AP courses than any other school in Atlanta.
