Katherine and Jacob Greenfield Hebrew Academy (GHA), founded in 1953,[1] was the first Jewish day school in Metro Atlanta, Georgia, United States. It was located in Sandy Springs.[2] [3] GHA was also 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.
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.[4] In November 2017 it had a ribbon cutting for the opening of a $9 million, 19000square feet addition to its Northland Drive campus in Sandy Springs.
