The Academy of the New Church, Secondary Schools is an accredited, private, 9th through 12th-grade Girls School and Boys School, located in Bryn Athyn, Pennsylvania , United States. [2] The school is affiliated with the General Church of New Jerusalem 's educational arm, the Academy of the New Church, along with the Bryn Athyn College of the New Church , the Academy of the New Church Theological School and others. It was established in 1876. [3] [4]

History [ edit ]

Its primary goal was to prepare men for the priesthood of the New Church. Following the establishment of the Theological School and a collegiate department, later to become Bryn Athyn College , the Boys School opened in 1881. [2] In 1884, a girls' school, privately set up by Sarah DeCharms Hibbard, merged with the Academy. [2]

At the start of the 20th century, the schools relocated to what was then the countryside near Philadelphia , in Montgomery County. [2] Funding from PPG Industries founder John Pitcairn enabled the construction of the new campus. Later, in the 1960s, the college moved to a separate, adjacent campus. [2]
