Katherine and Jacob Greenfield Hebrew Academy (GHA) is the first Jewish day school in Metro Atlanta, Georgia, United States. It was located in Sandy Springs.[1][2] GHA is also was the first Jewish day school in the country to be accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS), and has been honored twice as a National School of Excellence by the Council for American Private Education.
The school was founded in 1953.[3]
As of July 1, 2014, the school officially merged with the modern Orthodox high school, Yeshiva Atlanta, founded in 1971, and the combined school is called Atlanta Jewish Academy.[3][4] In November 2017 it had a ribbon cutting for the opening of a $9 million, 19,000-square-foot addition to its Northland Drive campus in Sandy Springs.[4]
