Founded by American Protestant missionaries, Anatolia College is a private, non-profit, educational institution located in Pylaia, a suburb of Thessaloniki. It was originally located in Asia Minor and evolved from a seminary in Constantinople, which began in 1840. The school was closed during the Greek-Turkish War of 1919-1922 and ceased to have a viable mission in Asia Minor when Turkey’s minority communities were uprooted under the peace treaties concluding that war. In 1924, Anatolia relocated to Thessaloniki, where the greatest part of the refugee influx from Asia Minor had settled. In the mid-1930s, the school moved to its present location on a 45-acre campus a few miles from the center of the city.
