Zion Wesley Institute (AA)- The A. M. E. Zion Church had long desired an institution for a thorough education of its children, and accordingly a school under the auspices of the North Carolina Conference was started in 1879 in the town of Concord, N. C. It was incorporated under the name of Zion Wesley Institute, and after two sessions, depending upon collections from the churches of that conference, it was forced to close its doors. Therefore it was in May, 1881, when it became apparent that the school must close, then being taught by Prof. A. S. Richardson. The Ecumenical Conference of the Methodist Church was held this year in England, and in this month of May. Bishop J. W. Hood, D. D., who was president of the Board of Trustees of the Institute, and Rev. J. C. Price, with other representatives of the Zion Church, were in attendance.<\/p>\n

Bishop Hood, recognizing the ability of Dr. Price, who was then a young man just out of school, prevailed upon him to become an agent for the school and to remain in England after the close of the conference. \u00a0During the conference Dr. Price made himself famous among the delegates and visitors as an eloquent orator, and after its close had no trouble in getting before the English people, who welcomed him everywhere and responded to his appeals in a sum amounting to $9,100. This, of course, was great encouragement to the Trustees and the Church. The congregation of the Zion Church, in Concord, offered 7 acres of land for a site to erect buildings and locate the school permanently. But the trustees decided that Salisbury would be a more favorable place, and the school was located in that city. \u00a0The name was\u00a0changed to Zion Wesley College and later to Livingstone College.<\/p>\n

Mt Amoena Seminary – est 1859 (all girls). The Lutheran synod decided to provide education for girls and opened the Mt. Pleasant Female Academy in 1858. The name was eventually changed to the Mount Amoena (Latin for Mt. Pleasant) Female Seminary. Cost to attend the school, including room and board, generally ran $135-170 per year. For that price, students could study math, English, spelling, history, geography, writing, Latin, and natural sciences. The school burned in 1911. The citizens of Mt. Pleasant along with the North Carolina Lutheran Synod raised money to rebuild the school, reopening it in 1913. The school finally closed in 1927.<\/p>\n
