Tallulah Falls School

Tallulah Falls School is a boarding and day school in the mountains of northeast Georgia, enrolling between 300 and 500 students from elementary through high school. The campus sits beside Tallulah Gorge State Park, about two hours northeast of Atlanta and minutes from the South Carolina line. The school is non-sectarian and college preparatory, with French and Spanish offered as modern languages.

The setting shapes the work. Faculty often build hiking, paddling, and gorge trips into the week. The K–12 structure has a practical upside: a high school physics teacher knows the third graders by name, and an elementary teacher watches her former students cross the graduation stage.

Because boarders and day students share one campus, teaching jobs often include advising, coaching, and dorm duty. Expect class time, evening check-ins, weekend trips, and rotations on the residential side. That load runs heavier than a standard day school, but residential faculty typically receive on-campus housing and term-time meals. In a rural market where rentals are thin, that housing can be worth several hundred to over a thousand dollars a month beyond the listed salary.

The financials look steady. Recent filings show net assets above $62 million, revenue near $26 million, and fundraising up about 12 percent year over year. For candidates weighing offers, those figures point to reliable payroll, funded benefits, and ongoing program investment.

Open roles at Tallulah Falls School include core academic faculty, French and Spanish teachers, elementary and middle school generalists, coaches, dorm parents, and administrative staff. Most hires are confirmed before the fall term.
