Maclay School is a private, non-sectarian college preparatory school located on about 100 acres (40 ha) of land in Tallahassee, Florida, about 10 miles (16 km) north of the Florida State Capitol.

The school opened in 1968 as a segregation academy founded by a group of white parents in response to the federally mandated racial integration of Leon County Schools.^[2] Today it is open to students of all races, but in 2017–18, its enrollment was 83% white,^[1] although in the 2010 census Leon County is 63% white.

It was named in memory of Alfred B. Maclay, Jr., a World War II veteran whose mother was a major benefactor; his father's nearby estate became Alfred B. Maclay Gardens State Park.

Maclay is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS), the Florida Council of Independent Schools (FCIS), and the Florida Kindergarten Council. Tuition for 2021–22 ranges from $7,525 for pre-kindergarten students to $15,025 for high school students.^[3]
