History
The school was started in 1971 by a small group of parents who wanted a school that taught children with respect for their individuality. Paideia was founded upon the idea that children have different interests and learning styles, and that they progress at different rates. The school offers a challenging academic curriculum along with performing and fine arts and 10 sports at the junior high and high school level. Paideia is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and the Southern Association of Independent Schools. Paul Bianchi has been the headmaster since Paideia began.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“All history and art are against us, but we still expect happiness in love.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“The greatest horrors in the history of mankind are not due to the ambition of the Napoleons or the vengeance of the Agamemnons, but to the doctrinaire philosophers. The theories of the sentimentalist Rousseau inspired the integrity of the passionless Robespierre. The cold-blooded calculations of Karl Marx led to the judicial and business-like operations of the Cheka.”
—Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)
“History is more or less bunk. It’s tradition. We don’t want tradition. We want to live in the present and the only history that is worth a tinker’s damn is the history we make today.”
—Henry Ford (1863–1947)
