About Hanover Academy
History of Hanover Academy
 Hanover Academy was one of the first classical schools founded in America. The first Hanover Academy was established in 1859 by Colonel Louis Minor Coleman as a preparatory school for boys, closely affiliated with the University of Virginia. The hardships of the Civil War and the reconstruction which followed, forced the Academy to cease operation in 1889, leaving behind a tradition of education such as noted leaders as Thomas Nelson Page, Judge Laurence Haywood Hunter, S.J. Doswell and Admiral Hilary Jones, the admiral of the U.S. Fleet.
It was in this tradition that Hanover Academy was re-established in 1959. Over the years, the Academy has added an early childhood program, a full sized gym, and a state-of-the-art computer lab. Throughout the years, the staff and faculty of Hanover Academy have remained dedicated to education and guiding the children entrusted in their care in a loving and nurturing environment.
