PORTER MILITARY ACADEMY
From Knob Knowledge
A former elementary and secondary military boarding school in Charleston. Its property was taken by the Medical University of South Carolina in the early 1960s. Only the chapel and the Waring Library are still standing. Before it sold its property it merged with Gaud Academy to form today's Porter-Gaud. Although it is no longer military it remains a prestigious private school. The new campus is across the Ashley. It caters mainly to commuting students. The most famous graduate of the old Porter Military Academy was Charles P. Summerall.
