The Parker Academy (officially known as Clermont Academy) was a private school founded in 1839 in Clermontville, Ohio near New Richmond, Ohio. The founders of the academy were Baptist minister Daniel Parker and his wife Priscilla, who were staunch abolitionists. It was one of the first Ohio schools which welcomed both boys and girls, regardless of race. Several of the early students were runaway enslaved people. The first teacher was James K. Parker, son of Rev. Parker.
