Alternative High School

Crossroads Second Chance North is a place where students who have been expelled from their home middle or high school can attend school in a structured and nurturing environment supported by involved and committed staff.

Charter High Schools

A charter school is a public school that operates according to the terms of a charter, or contract, that has been approved by a local board of education and the State Board of Education. The charter school may request waivers from provisions of Title 20 of Georgia state law and any state or local rule, regulation, policy, or procedure relating to schools in the school district. In exchange for this flexibility, the charter school is bound by contract to be held accountable for meeting the performance-based objectives specified in the charter.

North Springs Charter School of Arts & Sciences is a public secondary school located in Sandy Springs, Georgia. It is the only Arts and Sciences magnet school (also a Charter School) in Fulton County.

Riverwood International Magnet School, centrally located in Sandy Springs, offers both the International Studies Magnet and International Baccalaureate Programs to students from the entire school district.

TEACH (Technology Enriched Accelerated Charter High), located in Alpharetta approximately one mile from Johns Creek, provides a technology enriched high school curriculum in a small learning community. It has a strong focus on state-of-the-art information technology systems in course work and is open to 9th-11th grade students only.

Virtual Campus
