Description

Chamberlain-Hunt Academy is a Christian, military, boarding school established by the Presbytery of Mississippi in Port Gibson in 1879. First, Chamberlain-Hunt is a Christian school. God has made us for his glory, and, therefore, everything that is taught in the classroom, achieved on the playing field, or modeled in relationships is done to the best of our ability to the honor and glory of God. Second, Chamberlain-Hunt is a military school, one of the few left in the U.S. that self-consciously maintains its distinctive Christian character and strict military discipline. Third, Chamberlain-Hunt is a boarding school. Our cadets get a reprieve from some of the distractions of the usual high school scene and are placed in an environment that supports their academic, physical, and spiritual development. Chamberlain-Hunt Academy was established in 1879 and has been in continuous operation since that time. The Academy is the successor of Oakland College, a Presbyterian institution founded in 1830, but forced to close after the War Between the States. The College buildings were sold in 1871 to the State of Mississippi, which used them to found Alcorn State University. The Presbytery of Mississippi then used proceeds from the sale to found a secondary school, Chamberlain-Hunt Academy. The Academy?s name honors Dr. Jeremiah Chamberlain, the founder and first president of Oakland College, and Mr. David Hunt, a very generous benefactor...
