History
Woodward Academy was founded in 1900 as Georgia Military Academy. Originally an all male school, in 1964 the school became co-educational and was renamed Woodward Academy in 1966. The boarding program was discontinued in 1993. The all-grade physical education course was also halted after the injury of a few kindergarteners. Woodward draws its students from twenty-three metro Atlanta counties, and has two campuses - the Main Campus in College Park (PK-12) and Woodward North in Johns Creek (PK-6).
