The school was established in 1845 by the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools as a Catholic college preparatory high school for boys and is the oldest Christian Brothers school in the United States. The third oldest, La Salle Academy in New York City was founded by Christian Brothers from this school in 1848. Among its academic offerings is the McMullen Scholars Program, a four-year advanced-level curriculum requiring extra coursework in humanities, rhetoric and logic, and a senior independent project. Additionally, a program for assisting students with learning differences exists (the La Salle program).
