Hazlehead Academy is a six-year comprehensive school on the western edges of Aberdeen, adjacent to Hazlehead Park. It has a history stretching back for over 100 years. In 1901, Aberdeen School Board built Central School on the corner of Schoolhill and Belmont Street, on a site now occupied by a shopping centre named The Academy. In 1954, the school was renamed Aberdeen Academy. When the school closed, the pupils were moved to the new Hazlehead Academy.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.silvercityvault.org.uk/index.php?a=ViewItem&key=SnsiTiI6NDAsIlAiOnsiaXRlbWlkIjoiOTU5ODUiLCJwZXJjZW50VGVybXNUb01hdGNoIjoiMC42IiwibWF4UXVlcnlUZXJtcyI6IjIwIiwibWluRG9jRnJlcSI6IjEiLCJtaW5UZXJtRnJlcSI6IjEifX0&pg=2&WINID=1544534963323#UIfw2O7Xe6gAAAFnnXUnKQ/95101 |title=The Silver City Vault::Central School (Aberdeen Academy) |website=The Silver City Vault |publisher=Aberdeen Central Library |access-date=11 December 2018}}</ref>
