Since 1900, Woodward Academy has helped young men and women to discover their
inner strengths and to develop their abilities in all areas. The Academy strives
to encourage the development of well-rounded individuals and to help students
learn to appreciate the importance of academics, arts, and athletics.
Founded as Georgia Military Academy, Woodward Academy is the largest
independent school in the Atlanta area and in the continental United States. The
Academy is presently divided into five schools on two separate campuses serving
approximately 2,900 students in pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade. Students
arrive on our campuses daily from 23 counties in the metropolitan Atlanta area.
The Academy's student population includes a minority composition of
approximately twenty-five percent; a wide range of cultural and religious
diversity is represented within the community as well.
At Woodward Academy the application process is “self managed” which means
that it is the responsibility of the parent(s) to track the application from
beginning to end. Parents should make all appointments, ensure that all
information is submitted in a timely manner, and make certain that all
supporting documents are submitted for inclusion in the applicant’s file.
Woodward administers a non-discriminatory policy
of admission.
