Abbot Academy
Abbot Academy (also known as Abbot Female Seminary and AA) was an independent boarding preparatory school for women boarding and day students in grades 9-12 from 1828 to 1973.〔NY Times, (NEEDS OF THE ABBOT ACADEMY.; ALUMNAE TRYING TO RAISE $150,000 FOR NEW BUILDINGS ), Accessed August 10, 2013, "... the female university at Andover, Mass"〕 Located in Andover, Massachusetts, Abbot Academy was notable as one of the first incorporated secondary schools for educating young women in New England.〔〔Susan McIntosh Lloyd, 1979, (A Singular School: Abbot Academy, 1828-1973 ), Accessed Sept. 6, 2013, “... One of the first educational institutions in New England to be founded for girls and women alone, Abbot had by far the longest corporate life of any ...”〕 It merged with Phillips Academy in 1973〔Jonathan Phelps, Lawrence Eagle-Tribune, October 14, 2013, (Addison draws attention to Innu exhibit with large banners ), Accessed Aug. 10, 2013〕〔Amanda Bergeron, Boston Globe, Sept. 6, 2007, (Barbara Sisson, retired teacher active in arts ), Accessed Aug. 10, 2013, "... Abbot Academy, a boarding school for girls in Andover... 1973, when the school became part of Phillips Academy, Andover ..."〕 and campus buildings along School Street continue to be used for the combined school. Some Abbot traditions continue at the combined private boarding school such as Parents' Weekend.〔Alex Salton, thephilippianonline, October 26, 2009, (Parents’ Weekend Tradition Began with Abbot Academy ), Accessed Aug. 10, 2013.〕 Since the 40th anniversary in 2013 of the merger of the two schools, there has been renewed interest in Abbot's history and traditions.〔"Calling all Alumni from the late '60s to the late '70s!" in ''Andover the Magazine of Phillips Academy'', Spring, 2013, p. 57.〕
== History ==
The school was founded during a time when the prevailing view was that women's education "should always be relative to men", with some believing that study of "higher subjects" such as philosophy and mathematics might render women to be infertile.〔 One of the first formal discussions to propose a school for young women happened on February 19, 1828.〔Annie Sawyer Downs, New England Magazine, 2011, (Abbot Academy ), Accessed August 10, 2013.〕 The school was incorporated in 1829 with 70〔 or 85〔 pupils from eighteen to twenty years of age for the "exclusive work of educating women". According to one source, the official opening day was May 6, 1829.〔
