Montclair Military Academy 1903 handbook...Having recently celebrated its 125th Anniversary, todays Montclair Kimberley Academy, established in 1974, is the product of the merger of three separate schools, each with a reputation for providing an outstanding education: Montclair Academy, a boys school founded in 1887, The Kimberley School, a girls school founded in 1906, and Brookside, a coed school founded in 1925. Todays MKA has built on that tradition of excellence and offers its diverse student body a rigorous, yet innovative, college preparatory education. Following the efforts of some leading Montclair citizens to prepare their sons for college, Montclair Academy was founded in 1887 with 32 boys under the tutelage of John MacVicar. By 1891, the school had expanded to include a boarding facility and was renamed the Montclair Military Academy. At the end of the First World War, the school name reverted to Montclair Academy, and by 1925 had an enrollment of close to 300 boys with Dr. Walter Head as owner and headmaster.
