Welcome

Located in the heart of the historic Virginia-Highland neighborhood, Inman Middle School has a strong record of graduating academically prepared students with their eyes toward high school and beyond. Inman's location combines the feel of a close-knit neighborhood with easy access to the cultural, business and political leaders of the state. It's not uncommon for Governors, Congressmen, corporate leaders and nationally recognized performing artists to visit Inman to join forces with the exceptional staff, students and parents of the Inman community. The 750 sixth, seventh and eighth graders at Inman come predominantly from neighborhoods in the heart of Atlanta.

Academics are the primary emphasis at Inman. The core curriculum focuses on math, science, social studies and language arts with the goal of academic excellence and personal character development. This curriculum is enhanced by instruction in art, drama, band, orchestra, chorus, Spanish, French, Latin, German, debate, physical education, health and more. Inman has implemented the rigorous Core Knowledge Curriculum devised by E.D. Hirsh, described at www.coreknowledge.org.
