The Paideia School

The Paideia School (/ˌpaɪˈdeɪ.ə/) is a private independent school in the Druid Hills neighborhood of Atlanta, Georgia, United States.

In November 1970, when there was a rush among southern communities to open segregation academies to fight federally mandated integration of the public schools, a group got together to found a less-segregated private school.

The founders planned to open a school in September 1971, but they didn't have a location or any students.

The Paideia School opened for the fall semester in 1971 with 145 students in a building at 1509 Ponce de Leon in Druid Hills.
