When John H. Allen started a school amid economic uncertainty at the turn of the century in a small Texas town, little did he know what impact he would have over 130 years later. Today, Allen Academy proudly claims its heritage as the oldest accredited, non-sectarian preparatory school in Texas. The Allen family's dream that started in 1886 has blossomed into an independent day school for 340 students from age 3 through grade 12 in historic Bryan, TX. At Allen, students as young as 3 and 4 years old learn along with students ready to face the intellectual challenge of university life. The 40-acre campus creates a family-centered atmosphere where children are known by name and challenged to reach their full potential by talented, caring, and professional faculty, staff, coaches, and advisors. Allen is committed to providing a global perspective not only through an independent school curriculum, but also through real world exploration of foreign countries in the Upper School. A small, selective boarding program also brings students from across the globe to enhance an environment that values relationships, learning from each other, and preparing students for a world that promises to be increasingly unpredictable. This unique combination of intellectual rigor, learning opportunities, and deep relationships makes Allen unique within the Brazos Valley.

The Allen brothers moved their school to Bryan because of the town's growing rail connections, its central location between Houston, Waco, Dallas, and Austin, and because they envisioned their school becoming a preparatory school for the Texas Agricultural and Mechanical College. Several prominent citizens of Bryan encouraged the move and helped establish Allen Academy as a boarding school for boys in 1899. The school quickly earned a reputation as an outstanding college preparatory school. In 1917, thirty years after its founding and with the coming of World War I, Allen once again adapted to the needs of the times: military training was added to the academy's academic programs. Over more than 60 years, Allen Acad
