The school was located in Cornwall, New York, five miles from West Point.
That institution was owned and led by LT Charles Braden from 1890 until his death in 1919.
In the late 1920s, some sources refer to it as the "Stanton Loomis Academy."
Commissioned as an officer in the coastal artillery, he was an instructor in the Department of Mathematics at the Academy between 1911 and 1914 and returned in 1917 as an assistant professor remaining as a member of the faculty until 1925.
The 1938 edition of the Handbook of Private Schools for American Boys and Girls lists the tuition for boarders as $1,100 (roughly $16,695 in 2009 dollars) and $675 for the day school ($10,245 in 2009 dollars).
