This Christian high school has a long history of providing a quality Christian education with a college preparatory emphasis. Multiple generations have attended and Auburn Academy continues to hold it's standards high with a commitment to God, students and their families. Being a boarding and a day school, there is great diversity as there have always been students from around the world attend and continue currently.
