ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Fulton Science Academy announced March 22 its global expansion will include a new school on Jeju Island, South Korea.
Fulton Science Academy Atherton, which will be situated in the Jeju Global Education City, aims to serve around 1,350 students by September 2026.

In partnership with Korean investment firm AIS Global and international education experts ISC Research, the Alpharetta-based Fulton Science Academy intends to create a leading international school for students from kindergarten to 12th grade.
The curriculum will blend science, technology, engineering, arts, mathematics and humanities.
In anticipation of the initiative, Fulton Science Academy established Global Education Management and Services to oversee programs at the new school.
One milestone in the project’s development came March 21 with the Jeju Office of Education’s approval of the school’s plan.
