Christian Brothers Academy (also known as CBA or "The Academy") is a private, all-boys preparatory Catholic high school in the Lincroft section of Middletown Township in New Jersey. The school is run by the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools.
The school was originally a farm owned by the prominent Whitney family of New York City, and home to the Greentree Stable. The land was eventually given to the Christian Brothers for the purpose of teaching. The school opened in September 1959 and was blessed by the Bishop of Trenton on October 11, 1959. Christian Brothers Academy operates independently from the Diocese of Trenton and is governed by a board of trustees.
As of the 2021–22 school year, the school had an enrollment of 876 students and 64.3 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 13.6:1. The school's student body was 79.5% (696) White, 10.6% (93) Hispanic, 6.8% (60) two or more races, 2.6% (23) Asian and 0.5% (4) Black. [1]
The school has been accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Elementary and Secondary Schools since 1967. [7]
The site of Christian Brothers Academy was originally a farm owned by the prominent Whitney family of New York City, and home to their renowned Greentree Stable.
Christian Brothers Academy was founded in 1958, when a group of devoted laymen, including Doctor George A. Sheehan, realized the need for another Catholic high school in Monmouth County. With the approval of the bishop, they initiated a drive to raise funds for the purchase of a piece of property. The Brothers of the Christian Schools, under the leadership of their provincial, Brother Anthony John Halpin, agreed to staff the school and finance its construction.
The former Whitney Greentree Stables, a 157-acre (0.64 km2) farm, was purchased and one building was converted into what is now Henderson Hall. With six Brothers on the teaching staff, the school opened for the first time in September 1959 with an inaugural ninth grade class of 140 students, with classrooms built in a converted horse stable. [12] The school was blessed by the Bishop of Trenton on October 11, 1959
A new brick school building with 13 additional classrooms and science labs, constructed at a cost of $1.8 million (equivalent to $18.1 million in 2023), opened in September 1962; that year, the school had 700 students in grades 9-12. [13]
Over the years, the school has undergone many additions and renovations, including the building of the Henderson Theater, three science labs, two large gyms, and extra classrooms. The school's Christian emphasis is noted by a sign in the lobby which reads: "Jesus is the reason for this school, the unseen but ever-present teacher in its classes, the model of the faculty and the inspiration of its students." Before school begins and at the start of every class, prayers are offered in the Lasallian manner, beginning "Let us remember we are in the Holy Presence of God" and ending with the invocations, "St. John Baptist de La Salle, pray for us." "Live Jesus in our Hearts. Forever!"
During the 1983–84 academic year, Christian Brothers Academy was recognized with the Blue Ribbon School Award of Excellence by the United States Department of Education, [14] the highest award an American school can receive. [15] [16] The school was honored a second time when it was one of eight private schools recognized in 2017 by the Blue Ribbon Schools Program as an Exemplary High Performing School by the U.S. Department of Education. [17]

[18]
In addition to the 22 AP course offered at Christian Brothers Academy, the institution offers nearly 90 other courses that spread throughout the disciplines.

He must also complete three years of the following courses: History, Foreign Languages, Mathematics, Science, and Physical Education. Furthermore, students are required to complete two years of Computer Science.

[20] [6] The conference operates under the jurisdiction of the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA). [21] Since entering, the Colts have won over 240 Shore Conference championships.

[22]
