Build Strong

For more than 60 years, Southern Academy has provided an exemplary education for preK-12 students in Greensboro and has enjoyed significant growth recently. Families choosing SA, some commuting from contingent counties, want more from their school system. They prefer a private school that feels like a family, with high-quality academics and enhanced opportunities for their children to thrive. As a temporary solution, existing classrooms have been split to accommodate more teaching space.

With Southern Academy enrollment climbing to 380+ for the 2026-27 school year, the time for our administration to act is now. Ward Scott Morris Architecture of Tuscaloosa has designed a new building for Southern Academy: four hardened classrooms doubling as an ICC 500-rated storm shelter to protect our entire student body and staff. According to National Weather Service data, three tornadoes touched down in Hale County in 2025, and severe weather is a constant threat to our area.
