The Miller School of Albemarle is a co-educational private preparatory school located in Albemarle County, Virginia. The school was founded in 1878 with a bequest from Samuel Miller, who provided for the majority of his estate to be used for the establishment of a boarding school for girls and boys to be located on 1,200 acres near his birthplace in Albemarle County. The main building was designed by architect Albert Lybrock.[3]
