History
Founded in 2000, The Academy inaugurated a freshman class of 40 students from all over the county and had its first graduating class in 2004. During the 2010-2011 school year, The Academy underwent the process of incorporating its first AP class into the curriculum, AP English Literature and Composition, running concurrent to the existing senior English class, British Literature. The first exam was administered that year, and the first full year curriculum will begin for the senior class of 2012.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history of American politics is littered with bodies of people who took so pure a position that they had no clout at all.”
—Ben C. Bradlee (b. 1921)
“The visual is sorely undervalued in modern scholarship. Art history has attained only a fraction of the conceptual sophistication of literary criticism.... Drunk with self-love, criticism has hugely overestimated the centrality of language to western culture. It has failed to see the electrifying sign language of images.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“There is a constant in the average American imagination and taste, for which the past must be preserved and celebrated in full-scale authentic copy; a philosophy of immortality as duplication. It dominates the relation with the self, with the past, not infrequently with the present, always with History and, even, with the European tradition.”
—Umberto Eco (b. 1932)
