    About Us

    Stratford Academy is the oldest independent, non-sectarian, college preparatory school in Middle Georgia. It opened its doors in September 1960 in the Overlook Mansion (now the Woodruff House) on Coleman Hill in historic downtown Macon. Now located on a beautiful, 107-acre campus on Peake Road, the school provides a challenging and supportive learning environment. Among the school’s founding principles is intellectual independence — teaching young people how to think instead of what to think, where to look instead of what to see.

    Athletics

    Stratford offers 23 varsity athletic teams, and approximately 85 percent of upper and middle school students participate on a school-sponsored team. There is at least one “no-cut” sport available to student-athletes each season. The Eagles and Eaglettes have combined to win 195 state championships. Since returning to the GHSA in 2014, Stratford has finished each year in the top 10 for the Regions Bank Director's Cup for best overall athletic program in Class A Public/Private. Two of the three years the Eagles have finished first in Region 7-A.
