The worst school ever. The amount of bullying and the level of education is absolutely shocking. We took our daughter out of this establishment after 1,5 year. Unfortunately, a lot of other families have got the same negative experience. Management and admissions only care about money! If you are about your children and looking to give them a great education, avoid Atlas at all costs! If I would be able to give them 9 starts, I would!

My daughter was in her third year in the school and we have just removed her mid year. The internal level of education is very poor when put against IB levels. For example, she was a B- student in maths at the end of grade 10, and in October, after 4 weeks of IB her teacher sent me an email saying that ¨she struggles with basic and fundamental concepts like simplifying fractions or solving simple equations¨. The school offered no support at all except for telling us to get a private tutor. One email from them suggested paying no less than 140 euros per hour!

Bullying by staff children is overlooked, and ignored. Even when the complaints are serious.

Teachers are missing or simply incompetent, which is a shame as there is a handful of exceptional teachers. They, however, are overshadowed by weak management.

As someone who was there at the beginning it is a real shame how it has slipped. But I would not recommend it to anyone.

As a parent, I couldn’t be more grateful for Atlas. The school environment is warm, inclusive, and forward-thinking—exactly what we were looking for. My daughter has truly begun to thrive here, both academically and emotionally. There’s a really healthy balance of academics, arts, social development, and sports, which makes for such a well-rounded experience. The teachers are attentive and genuinely invested in the students’ growth, and the small class sizes make a big difference. The admin team has also been incredibly kind, hands-on, and responsive—with excellent communication throughout. Atlas feels like a community, not just a school, and we’re so happy to be part of it.

We have two children at ATLAS for the third year, preschool and elementary school. The administration has come a long way since they opened 3 years ago and they have been able to organize themselves in a great way. Both of our children love to go to school and have nice groups of friends. So far, all teachers they have had were outstanding. We are coming from the German school system and to note a difference would be that the German curriculum is generally rather teaching while we find the American curriculum gives more weight on researching. There is also more PE, more team projects and co-curicular activities depending on each childs special interests. The facilities are modern, clean and inviting. We love that Atlas has started this year to offer as well the IB next to the high school diploma.

We were hopeful a new school with new ideas would be academically rigorous. Our son wishes to study at a college in the US. No teachers for months, no books either. Sadly we left after two years because of the lack of materials, academic experiences, poor communication, etc. Why pay all that money for average. So much promises they couldn't deliver.
