It is located in Sewanee, Tennessee on the Cumberland Plateau between Nashville and Chattanooga and adjacent to the University of the South, which is also operated by the Episcopal Church. ==History== The current school, housed on , is the result of the merger of St. Andrew's School, which was located on the same campus, and the Sewanee Academy.〔Margaret D. Binnicker, (St. Andrew's-Sewanee School ), ''Tennessee Encyclopedia of History and Culture''〕 The University of the South agreed to merge the Sewanee Academy with St. Andrew's School in 1981. The Sewanee Academy was founded in 1867 as the Junior Department of the University of the South and later became Sewanee Grammar School (1869-1908), then the Sewanee Military Academy. In 1971, Sewanee Military Academy dropped its military program and became known as the Sewanee Academy.〔 St. Andrew's School was founded in 1905 by the Episcopal Order of the Holy Cross with the goal of "breaking the cycle of poverty" for "mountain boys." Originally all-white, it was desegregated in 1965.〔Wade H. Morris, Jr., (FORCING PROGRESS: THE STRUGGLE TO INTEGRATE SOUTHERN EPISCOPAL SCHOOLS ), M.A. thesis, Georgetown University, April 18, 2009〕 A third school, St. Mary's School for Girls, was operated from 1896 to 1968 by the Episcopal Sisters of St. Mary's. After it closed, Sewanee Military Academy and St. Andrew's School, which had enrolled only boys, both became coeducational.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「St. Andrew's-Sewanee School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
