Atlanta Jewish Academy was created by the merger of
Greenfield Hebrew Academy and
Yeshiva Atlanta on July 1, 2014.
The school is the first Infant through 12th grade Jewish day school in
Greater Atlanta. It previously had two campuses, the lower school located in
Sandy Springs and the upper school located in
Doraville. However, in August 2017, the upper school moved into a new building added on to the Sandy Springs location.
Atlanta Jewish Academy is accredited by AdvancED (formerly SACS) and the
Southern Association of Independent Schools (SAIS).
The first head of school was Rabbi Pinchos Hecht. The second head of school is Rabbi Ari Leubitz, who began his term on August 1, 2016.
