History

In the Fall of 2007, The Andrews School in Willoughby, Ohio and Phillips-Osborne School in Painesville, Ohio merged to form Andrews Osborne Academy on the 300 acre campus of The Andrews School.

The Andrews School

Founded in 1910 by Wallace Corydon Andrews and his wife, Margaret St. John Andrews, as The Andrews Institute for Girls. A number of majors were available such as Business, Foods, Retail, Cosmetology, and Clothing. In the early 1980s, The Andrews School became a college preparatory school, and at the time of the merger in 2007, served girls in grades 7-12.

The Phillips-Osborne School

Founded in 1972 as The Phillips School in Painesville, Ohio and renamed Phillips-Osborne School in 1992. At the time of the merger in 2007, it was a co-ed school for PK - Grade 8.
