50 Years of Growth

We may be young in years as an insti­tu­tion, but we are rich in his­to­ry. Won­der­ful things have been hap­pen­ing on our cam­pus through­out our five decades and this year we look back on our his­to­ry with great pride for who we have been as an insti­tu­tion and who we have become.

Aki­ba Acad­e­my has enjoyed tremen­dous growth in its phys­i­cal and intel­lec­tu­al devel­op­ment. Take a moment to explore our past and learn more about the peo­ple and events that have made Aki­ba the great insti­tu­tion it is today. Help us pre­serve our his­to­ry by shar­ing your mem­o­ries of what shaped—and con­tin­ues to shape—your Aki­ba Acad­e­my experiences.
