International Transition Center

International Transition Center in Lawrenceville serves a truly unique mission — it's designed specifically to welcome newly arrived immigrant and refugee students into the Gwinnett County school system, helping them build English skills and academic confidence before transitioning into traditional schools. Lawrenceville itself is one of the most culturally diverse corners of metro Atlanta, with a rich mix of Latino, Asian, and African communities woven into everyday life, from the restaurants along Buford Highway to the neighborhoods surrounding the courthouse square. Families new to the country who are looking for a supportive, multilingual entry point into American schooling will find this school less about test rankings and more about belonging — which, for many students here, makes all the difference.
