Wheelock Academy was the model academy for the Five Civilized Tribes' academies. It was started as a missionary school for Choctaw girls, and is still owned by the Choctaw nation. The school closed in 1955 and the only remaining Choctaw school, Jones Academy, became coeducational. The site is located east of Millerton in McCurtain County, Oklahoma. It is administered by the Bureau of Indian Affairs.[National Register of Historic Places Inventory Form, Wheelock Academy, November 7, 1978.] Accessed August 16, 2015. Read more on Wikipedia
