 Enrolling in School

Georgia law requires that children must be five years old on or before September 1 to enroll in kindergarten and six years old on or before September 1 to enroll in first grade in the public schools.  A child who has lived in another state for at least two years before moving to Georgia and who was legally enrolled in a public kindergarten or first grade in that state may enroll in a Georgia public school kindergarten or first grade, provided the child will be five for kindergarten and six for first grade by December 31.  Pre-kindergarten programs are available for preschoolers at 30 elementary schools and 2 community centers. To qualify for Pre-K, children must be four (4) years old by September 1.
