West Nottingham Academy is an independent co-ed school serves both boarding and day students in grades 9-12. It was founded in 1744 by the Presbyterian preacher Samuel Finley, who later became President of The College of New Jersey, which is now Princeton University. The 124-acre (0.50 km2), tree-lined campus is in Colora, Maryland near the Chesapeake Bay, an hour south of Philadelphia and 45 minutes north of Baltimore.

The school claims to be "the oldest boarding school in the United States"[1] and has the oldest founding date of any school still in operation.

In June 2023, the school filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy to reorganize its finances.
