Old Trail School was founded in 1920 in Akron, Ohio, and was originally housed in the basement of an Episcopal church on West Market Street. In 1926, the school moved to its first campus, on Covington Road in the Fairlawn Heights neighborhood of Akron. For many years, the school included a high school, known as the Upper School, grades 9 through 12. The school moved to its current campus, in Bath Township, in 1967. [2]
