Ebenezer Academy, Bethany Presbyterian Church and Cemetery is a historic school building, Presbyterian church, and cemetery located six miles north of Statesville in Bethany Township, Iredell County, North Carolina.
Several nephews of James Hall, an early Presbyterian scholar and founder of Clio's Nursery in Iredell County that closed in 1787, were the first principals and teachers.
An 1823 newspaper advertisement for the school stated "all branches of education required for admission into college, will here be taught.
The Academy is in a rural situation, six miles from Statesville, so that students will be measurably free from temptations to vice.
The academy closed temporarily in 1856, due to the death of the principal James Crawford and lack of funding.
