The Edinburgh Academy is an independent school in Edinburgh,
Scotland, which was opened in 1824. The original building, on Henderson
Row in the city's New Town, is now part of the Senior School. The Junior
School is located on Arboretum Road to the north of the city's Royal
Botanic Garden.
The Edinburgh Academy was originally a day and boarding school for boys.
It ceased boarding and transitioned to co-education in 2008 and is now a
fully coeducational day school. The nursery, housed in a 2008 purpose
built block on the Junior campus, caters for children from age 2 to 5.
The Junior School admits children from age 6 to 10 whilst the Senior
School takes pupils from age 10 to 18.
It is apparent that the early names listed here were founder pupils
of the Academy.
