Southland Academy
Southland Academy is a private, co-educational, non-sectarian Christian college preparatory day school in Americus, Georgia, United States, with over 600 students in grades K through 12, covering ages 4 through 19.〔(Southland Academy page at greatschools.net. )〕 It was founded in 1967 as a segregation academy.
== History ==
Southland Academy was originally founded as a private school in response to the desegregation of Georgia in the 1960s.〔"South Leads the Country In School Desegregation; Some Dramatic Progress Schools Still Segregated", ''The New York Times'', May 9, 1979.〕 The first classes began in the old Anthony School building on Anthony Drive. In 1970, Southland moved to its current location at 123 Southland Road. It was reported in 1979 that most white parents in the area sent their children to Southland rather than the local public school system, which at the time was 80% black and the subject of boycotts and criticism over alleged neglect and underfunding.〔("Sumter boycott continues" ), ''Rome News-Tribune'', October 24, 1979.〕
However, the removal of religion from public schools prompted Southland to reinvent itself as a Christian school focusing on academic excellence and religious values.
Melvin T. Kinslow, the school's headmaster from 1971 to 1996, in May 2008 attacked suggestions in the local press that Southland is in any way a "segregated" school, noting that it "has a very diverse population with students attending or having attended from Korea, India, China, Germany and France... Southland has black students who have graduated, and others who will graduate in the near future."〔("In defense of private schools" ), ''Americus Times-Recorder'', May 9, 2008.〕
