Accredited by the Georgia Department of Education, Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, and the International Baccalaureate
Organization, Riverwood International Charter School is a four year academic, college/career preparatory high school offering a
broad program and experiences that address the interpersonal, social, physical, and academic needs of its students.
