History

Woodward Academy was founded in 1900 as the Georgia Military Academy, a military boarding school for boys. In 1964 they admitted females and then in 1966, due to the decreasing demand for military training, the Georgia Military Academy governing board decided to end the military training program and change its name to Woodward Academy. This decision allowed the school to strengthen its academic and arts programs. In 1968, the governing board adopted a non-discriminatory policy and eventually, by 1971, the school was fully integrated. The boarding school program was discontinued in 1993.
