February 17, 2014 Elgin Academy has earned many distinctions throughout its long history. But leaders are most proud of it being one of the oldest independent private schools in the country free from affiliation to any ideological or religious group, and being the oldest coeducational college preparatory institution in the Northwest suburbs. The school — chartered in 1839, four years after the founding of Elgin — marks 175 years of its charter this month. Source: http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20140216/news/140218714/ |
