History
Woodward Academy was founded in 1900 as Georgia Military Academy. Originally an all-male school, in 1964 the school became coeducational and was renamed Woodward Academy in 1966. The boarding program was discontinued in 1993. Woodward draws its students from 23 metro Atlanta counties taken to school by MARTA, Woodward buses, parents, or carpool. The school has two campuses - the Main Campus in College Park (preK-12) and Woodward North in Johns Creek (preK-6).
