increased. As the enrollment grew it was obvious that another move would be necessary. In 1912, the school moved to an estate formerly known as La Colina, a name bestowed upon the land by Colonel Clifford L. Anderson, founder of Trust Company of Georgia who was also a lawyer and state legislator. The large property enabled them to add a modern school building to the grounds. Mr. Llewellyn Scott, with the help of his sister, Miss Emma Scott, directed the school with great success for the next 25 years. In 1917, the school hosted its first annual May Day event. Following Llewellyn D. Scott's death in 1937, his sister Emma Scott became the head of the school. In 1953, the school merged with Westminster Schools, a co-educational school. The "Home Building," originally constructed in 1895, housed the school until 1953. In 1955 the building was torn down and replaced with the Riviera Motel.
