Carson Long Military Academy in New Bloomfield, Pennsylvania was the oldest continually operating college preparatory boarding school and military academy in the United States with mandatory military training for boys in grades 6-12. Maximum enrollment was approximately 235 student cadets. Carson Long Military Academy was founded as Bloomfield Academy in 1836 by Robert Finley in New Bloomfield, Pennsylvania as a Latin Grammar school with only six students. In 1840 the school was moved two blocks up the hill to its present location; the first building was constructed the same year and is still in use as a reception hall and museum. In 1842 the trustees decided to make the Academy a coeducational boarding school and for a short period of time in the early 1850s, the school was purchased and operated by the Perry County Commissioners. During the second half of the 19th century, the Latin Grammar Academy added a Normal School, which was a training school for teachers. In 1914 the school was purchased by Theodore K. Long, a graduate of Bloomfield Academy and Yale who became a prominent Chicago lawyer and city councilman. In 1914 he renamed the school Carson Long Institute as a living memorial to his son, William Carson Long, who died in a logging accident at an early age. It had been a nonprofit corporation since 1920 and governed by a 15-member Board of Trustees. More information...
