Oberlin Academy Preparatory School, originally Oberlin Institute and then Preparatory Department of Oberlin College, was a private preparatory school in Oberlin, Ohio which operated from 1833 until 1916.[1] It opened as Oberlin Institute which became Oberlin College in 1850. The secondary school serving local and boarding students continued as a department of the college. The school and college admitted African Americans and women.[2] This was very unusual and controversial.[3] It was located on the Oberlin College campus for much of its history and many of its students continued on to study at Oberlin College.[citation needed] Various alumni and staff went on to notable careers.
