Georgia’s only Arts and Sciences Magnet Program. The program
attracts student from all areas of the Fulton County School

Performing Arts programs enhance the strong curriculum offered
in the advanced placement, honors and regular academic programs
at North Springs. Students participating in the magnet programs
are exposed to a plethora of opportunities that will enable them
