History
The school was founded in 1850 under the name "St. Joseph's Academy" by three French-speaking Christian Brothers who had come to St. Louis the previous year from Montreal, Canada. In 1851 the school moved from its original location at 16th and Market Street to 8th and Cerre Street in downtown St. Louis, and the name changed to the "Academy of the Christian Brothers." In December 1855, the school was granted a college charter, becoming the Brothers' first U.S. institution to operate at the collegiate level.
On October 5, 1916, a fire destroyed the school,
In January 2006, CBC announced plans to begin drug testing all students during the 2007–08 academic year. The school became the first private school in the West St. Louis area to implement such testing, and the proposal received widespread press coverage.
