}}Valwood School is an independent, coeducational, college preparatory school, and segregation academy located four miles (6 km) outside of Valdosta, Georgia, United States. It offers programs from pre-kindergarten through high school. Five hundred eleven students were enrolled in the 2015-16 school year.[1]

History

Valwood School was founded by local reactionaries in response to the federally mandated racial desegregation of public schools.[2][3][4] Valwood's first classes were inaugurated in September 1969, in the old Central Elementary School building in Valdosta. Classes were offered to white students for grades 1-10, with kindergarten and eleventh grade programs being added in 1970. The first full graduation exercise was held in June, 1972, and the school moved to Gornto Road in the fall of that year. A preschool program was added in 1982. Various improvements to the physical plant were completed over the years, including a gymnasium/cafeteria complex in 1973 and an athletic field in 1989. In 2000 the school received a gift of {{convert|45|acre|ha}} of pecan grove from the Howard Dasher Company as a relocation site. The school opened its new campus at the location, two miles (3 km) north of Valdosta on Old US Hwy 41, on August 26, 2002.[5]
