There is on-street parking as well.
Is this event kid-friendly?

What schools will be there?
More than 40 schools have RSVP’d to attend. Each school represents a different attendance zone and we’ll note the district(s) they serve at their booths. We will also provide this information on a map.

We will have traditional public schools, public charter schools, private schools, and a few local district representatives.
What districts are invited?
We’ve invited schools serving the following districts:
Atlanta Public Schools, Clayton County Public Schools, Cobb County Public Schools, DeKalb County Public Schools, Douglas County Public Schools, Fulton County Public Schools, Henry County Public Schools, and Gwinnett County Public Schools. There will also be charters that have a statewide attendance zone.
As stated earlier, every school has a different attendance zone, so please be aware that only some schools serve these districts.
When are applications due?
Each school has a different enrollment period. Please be sure to ask the school during the expo—they’re attending to answer your questions!
What if I have questions?
We’re here to help! If you’ve got questions in advance of the expo, please send an email to steven.quinn@gacan.org. On the day of the expo, look out for volunteers wearing Atlanta Charter Expo t-shirts. They’re more than happy to help!
