Monroe Academy (often referred to as MA) is a private day school, accredited by the Alabama Independent School Association and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, which offers coeducational college preparatory classes for students from K-3 through grade 12.

Monroe Academy is located in Monroeville, Alabama and was founded in 1969 as a segregation academy.[1] In 1969, the headmaster told the Atlanta Constitution that he was "sure the integration was one of the primary reasons for the school be established".[2]

According to the Los Angeles Times, many parents struggled to afford the tuition and made financial sacrifices to avoid sending their children to racially integrated public schools.[3] In 1982, Jerry Steele, Monroe Academy's first board chairman, stated that the school's lack of racial integration was because the school "is run by the people who put up the money."[3]

The school has an enrollment of over 400 students, all of them white. As of 2022, although Monroe Academy has posted a non-discrimination policy on their website,[4] there has yet to be a single black student admitted.[5]
