Andrews Osborne Academy

Andrews Osborne Academy is a co-educational, independent, college preparatory day (PK-12) and boarding (7-12) school. Our 300-acre campus near Cleveland, Ohio is truly a global village with some of the best and brightest students from down the street, across America and around the world.

AOA is an extraordinary place. Our world-class faculty understands that education must go beyond simple “content mastery”. An AOA education is designed to cultivate a curious mind – to engage students in inquiry-based learning – to develop students’ ability to solve problems in new and unique ways. In short, AOA is the school where students in grades PK-12 learn to think creatively.

At AOA students learn and develop within an authentic global context that few schools can match. Our program is as ambitious as our students – beginning with students as young as pre-kindergarten age and moving up through the high school years. Our community also has the multicultural and international breadth to match that ambition. Fed by a robust boarding program in grades 7-12 and PG, the AOA student body is made up of students from 22 countries, 8 states, and 2 territories.

AOA is an extraordinary school, known throughout the region for offering a community built upon deep and meaningful relationships between and among teachers , students, families, and staff, and for developing a superlative educational paradigm. That paradigm is invested in two deeply held beliefs - that students need to think critically AND creatively, and, that knowledge is deepened through plurality. An AOA education empowers students to develop into empathic and caring global citizens capable of leading the way into a dynamic future.

Andrews Osborne Academy prepares students for higher education and empowers them to be successful leaders committed to serving in an international community.
