Atlas International School in Raleigh

At Atlas, we think it is very important to emphasize healthy living.

Our elementary children benefit from two recesses a day. Our middle school children enjoy one recess a day (as opposed to no recess in most middle schools) and an optional after-school recess.

All children are asked to bring in a healthy lunch. No candy is given to children during the school day and there are no soda machines on site.
