In 1840 the school was moved two blocks up the hill to its present location; the first building was constructed the same year and is still in use as a reception hall and museum. In 1842 the trustees decided to make the Academy a coeducational boarding school and for a short period of time in the early 1850s, the school was purchased and operated by the Perry County Commissioners. During the second half of the 19th century, the Latin Grammar Academy added a Normal School, which was a training school for teachers. In 1914 the school was purchased by Theodore K. Long, a graduate of Bloomfield Academy and Yale who became a prominent Chicago lawyer and city councilman. In 1914 he renamed the school Carson Long Institute as a living memorial to his son, William Carson Long, who died in a logging accident at an early age. It had been a nonprofit corporation since 1920 and governed by a 15-member Board of Trustees. Carson Long Military Academy was accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools since 1929 and was a member of the Association of Military Colleges and Schools of the United States, the National Association of Independent Schools and the Pennsylvania Association of Independent Schools. After 182 years the campus permanently closed in 2018.
