Founded in 1845, The Glasgow Academy is the second oldest fully independent school in Glasgow, Scotland.[2] It is located in the Kelvinbridge area and has approximately 1200 pupils, split between three preparatory schools and a senior school.

The current Rector is Peter Brodie, who has held the position since 2005.

The school is currently in the stage of building a completely new preparatory school which will replace the older preparatory school in Colebrooke Terrace. The new school will be built a few hundred yards away on old derelict land which used to be houses. The old school is expected to be changed into more classrooms and expanded facilities for the senior school.

The school has a well established house system which divides all pupils in the school into four different houses: Arthur, Fraser, Morrison and Temple. House assemblies are regularly held and pupils enter a wide range of activities competing in houses. Activities include football, volleyball, debating and an annual house singing competition.

The school offers many sporting opportunities to its pupils ranging from the usual rugby union, field hockey, tennis and cricket to the more unusual shooting and curling. The school also has a CCF, comprising Army, Navy and RAF sections.
