The Cum Laude Society was established in 1906 to recognize the scholastic achievements of students enrolled in independent secondary schools. Modeled after Phi Beta Kappa, the society admits students who are in the top 20 percent of their class. The Woodberry Forest Chapter was established in 1952, and all faculty who are Phi Beta Kappa members are considered to be members of the Society.

Woodberry Forest School is a highly selective, independent boarding school in Madison County, for 400 boys in grades 9-12 from 25 states, the District of Columbia and many other countries. Founded in 1889, it emphasizes an education based on intellectual thoroughness, moral integrity, and good sportsmanship, and a reverence for things sacred.
