The Academy campus, looking west. Students visit the Glencairn Museum, left, for Art, History and Religion classes, and Cairnwood Mansion, right, for History. Both facilities are used for formal social events.
Although conveniently located near Philadelphia, the Academy campus is nestled in the borough of Bryn Athyn, with its quiet neighborhoods, woodlands and fields.

It serves the College, Theological School,and members of the local community. Students and faculty of the Girls School and Boys School also have access to its facilities and extensive collections. The library houses two important collections: the Academy of the New Church archives and Swedebenborgiana, the world's largest collection of Swedenborg's works.
