All About Atlanta
Candler students have the advantage of living in a world-class town and the heart of the Southeast-Atlanta, Georgia. Atlanta has all of the benefits of a big city—music, food, art, theater, festivals and fun—with the feel of a small town—neighborhoods where you can walk to everything, hole-in-the-wall diners and people sitting out on their front stoops.
