History - On April 21, 1969, some residents of  Marlboro and Scotland Counties met in Bennettsville to discuss forming an independent school that could serve the educational needs of children living in these and surrounding areas.  As a result, Marlboro Academy was chartered, opening on September 4, 1969, with 240 students in grades 1 -12.  Today, the Academy enrolls approximately 285 students in grades prekindergarten-12.
