Christian Brothers Academy (also known as CBA or "The Academy"), located in the Lincroft section of Middletown Township, New Jersey, United States, is a private, all-boys college preparatory school with a focus on Christian education run by the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools, founded by St. Jean-Baptiste de La Salle. The school was originally a farm owned by the prominent Whitney family of New York City, and home to their renowned Greentree Stable. The land was eventually given to the Christian Brothers for the purpose of teaching. The school opened for the first time in September 1959 and was blessed by the Bishop of Trenton on October 11, 1959. Christian Brothers Academy operates independently from the Roman Catholic Diocese of Trenton and is governed by a board of trustees.
As of the 2013-14 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,002 students and 77.9 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 12.9:1.
The school has been accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Secondary Schools since 1967.
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, the highest award an American school can receive. Christian Brothers Academy graduates attend a range of well-respected colleges and universities. Recent members of the senior class have reported acceptances to Duke University, University of Chicago, Georgetown University, and all the schools of the Ivy League.
