Andrews Osborne Academy is a private, coeducational boarding and day school located on 300 acres (1.2 km2) of land in Willoughby, Ohio, twenty miles (32 km) east of Cleveland.

History

In the Fall of 2007, the former Andrews School and Phillips-Osborne School officially merged to form the new Andrews Osborne Academy. Previously located in Painesville, Ohio, the Phillips-Osborne School has relocated entirely to Willoughby.[1] This gives Willoughby its first coeducational boarding and day school.

The Andrews School

Founded in 1910, The Andrews School for Girls had a number of majors such as Business, Foods, Retail, Cosmetology, and Clothing. In the early 1980s, The Andrews School became a college preparatory school, and in 2007 merged with the Phillips-Osborne School to become the only co-ed independent PK - grade 12 school in Lake County. Each year 100% of the graduating seniors gain acceptance to 4-year colleges and universities.[2]

The Phillips-Osborne School

The Phillips-Osborne School was founded in Painesville as The Phillips School in 1972, being renamed as the Phillips-Osborne School in 1992. It was a co-ed school for PK - grade 8 prior to its merger with The Andrews School.
