[3] Founded in 1959 by Theodore and Shirley Hecht, Brandon Hall School was located on a pristine 27-acre campus on the Chattahoochee River.

The campus was the former summer estate of prominent Atlantan Morris Brandon and his wife, Harriet Inman, and includes the original 1920s residence.

During this time, the academic buildings and dormitory were built, and the school joined the Atlanta Athletic Conference while introducing a variety of competitive sports for both girls and boys.

The Resident Housing was built for faculty and staff wishing to live on campus, and the Great Hall was renovated to create a welcoming entrance to the school.
