Adelphi University’s roots reach back to 1863 and the founding of the Adelphi Academy, a private preparatory school in Brooklyn, New York. The Academy was incorporated in 1869, and its Board of Trustees was charged with establishing a first-class institution for the broadest and most thorough training to make its advantages as accessible as possible to the largest numbers of the population. The school quickly gained a reputation for its innovative curriculum, particularly in physical culture and early childhood education.

Over the next 100 years, Adelphi grew and changed significantly. In 1929, Adelphi University became the first private, coeducational institution of higher education on Long Island. Since that time, more than 100,000 students have passed through its doors, leaving their mark on the University and the world beyond.

More than 8,100 students are currently thriving in its classrooms, programs, sports fields at the main Garden City campus, and centers in Manhattan, Hauppauge, and Poughkeepsie. Its students have achieved awards and national recognition for their scholarship, service, and leadership.

Adelphi also seeks to serve its locality, state, and nation through the research and practice of its faculty; the strengthening of ties between the professional schools and community; the staging of distinguished cultural events at its campuses; and most essentially, the education of a generation of future leaders and informed citizens, professionals, and community members.
