Atlanta Music High School 

Launched in August 2017, Atlanta Music High School (AMHS) is our junior high and high school conservatory program.  Operated in partnership with the Atlanta International School, AMHS provides a unique educational opportunity for passionate music students grades 6-8 (Prep) and grades 9-12.

AMHS offers the faculty, facilities, the coursework and schedule for dedicated music students to develop a strong foundation, and for older students to cultivate advanced technical skills, musical insights and professional level of artistic expression.  The educational program culminates in a performance or production portfolio in the student's preferred style(s).  Most AMHS students go on to pursue music in their top choice conservatory, school or college department of music or technical college.  Others continue to make music even as they pursue different intellectual and vocational interests.

    Our Vision & History

    In 2017, CMC Atlanta founded Atlanta Music High School (AMHS) to fill a critical gap in local education. Before AMHS, Atlanta lacked a private conservatory option where teenagers could pursue both rigorous academics and deep, pre-professional musical training. For years, dedicated local students faced a difficult choice: compromise their academic goals, sacrifice their musical passion, or leave Georgia entirely to board at expensive out-of-state institutions like the Interlochen Arts Academy.

     

    AMHS changes that narrative. To deliver an elite, globally recognized education alongside world-class musical training, AMHS proudly names the Atlanta International School (AISx) as our preferred dual-enrollment academic partner.

    GAP  
    Gap Year and Apprenticeship Programs for young adults

    It's no secret, college is very expensive.  it's also obvious to clear thinking folks that not every high school graduate is ready to enroll in college immediately. Sometimes a year spent doing something valuable or personally meaningful is the ideal last step in college prep.  Some college graduates or undergraduates also need a year off before continuing studies or moving on to grad school or into the work force.  And frankly, many creative and talented people are better off not going to college at all.  The latter statement is a bold, maybe even radical proposition, but it's one worth considering.  

    We developed our Gap and Apprenticeship Program (GAP) for young adults who
