History
The school was established as an independent Catholic school in 1996. In 1999, the Legion of Christ became associated with the Donnellan School. Friction between the administration and some teachers, and parents resulted in the termination of four staff and a number of resignations and student withdrawals. A new school, the Atlanta Academy, was founded by some of the individuals involved in the dispute, and many of those who had withdrawn from the Donnellan School enrolled there. The school is recognized by the Archdiocese of Atlanta and listed in the Official Catholic Directory as a lay sponsored Catholic school independent of any religious order or congregation.
