Our History

Twenty-five years ago, a small group of parents and strong prayer warriors came together with the single purpose of establishing a true Christ-centered school in the Atlanta area whose mission was to provide a rigorous academic environment with a Biblical worldview and an unwavering belief in Jesus Christ.

A school whose students would be immersed in the word of God, challenged academically and spiritually and be prepared for life with a foundation grounded in God.

This was the beginning of Whitefield Academy. This was the beginning of our community.

Bathed in prayer, faith and complete trust in God’s sovereignty, Whitefield began with fewer than 100 students in 6^th – 12^th grade. In the past 25 years, Whitefield has grown to the school we know today serving over 900 students from PreK – 12^th grade on a campus of more than 100 acres.

Never swaying from its original mission, the faculty and administration at Whitefield work daily to strengthen our community by leading and teaching students to be successful in life now and beyond graduation. As our community continues to grow, our bond and unity in Christ gets stronger each year. We are grateful for those who have come before us and laid the groundwork for the Whitefield Academy we enjoy today.
