GLOBE Academy (Georgia Language Immersion Charter School) is a dual-language immersion charter school serving students in grades K–8. Located in the North Druid Hills area of Atlanta, the school is known for its rigorous academic model, which integrates core curriculum instruction in both English and a target language—specifically Mandarin, Spanish, or French. By immersing students in these languages, the school aims to foster global citizenship, cultural competence, and bilingual proficiency alongside standard academic excellence.

As a public charter school, GLOBE Academy operates with a focus on inquiry-based learning and community engagement. Its curriculum encourages students to think critically and approach problem-solving from a cross-cultural perspective. The school maintains a diverse student body and emphasizes a collaborative environment where parents, teachers, and students work together to meet high educational standards. Because of its specialized immersion model and charter status, it remains a highly sought-after option for families in the Atlanta area looking for a non-traditional, international-focused educational path.
