4fHistory One June 4, 1889, the ability to confer The Usual Academic And Other De- grees, was granted to the Order of Saint Benedict of Florida by the Florida Legislature. Saint Leo came into exis- tence. The school was first a Military Acade- my but soon became known as Saint Leo Preparatory School. ln 1950, the Benedictine Monks decided to develop the 'Prep' School into an institution of higher education. In 1959, Saint Leo 'Prep' School became Saint Leo Junior College. lt became a four year college in 1963, and on November 29, 1967, received full accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. Since then there has been much growth among the programs offered, the standard of excellence and the campus on the whole.
