Wapanucka Academy was a school for girls. Opened in 1852 by the Presbyterian Church. The name was derived from Wapanachki, a Delaware Indian word meaning "eastern land people."  During it's first years, it was known locally as Allen's Academy after Captain J. S. Allen who headed the school's construction in 1851-1852. The school was established under contract between William Medill, Commissioner of Indian Affairs for the Chickasaws and Walter Lowrie in behalf of the Mission Board of the Presbyterian Church. 

J. S. Allen served as interim superintendent until 1852, when the Reverend Hamilton Ballentine, his wife, and two teachers took over operation of the school, with forty girls soon in attendance.

There was conflict at the outset concerning the financing of the intuition and who would pay the cost of boarding the girls.

On July 6, 1860, following the close of the school term, the Board decided to cease operations because of insufficient funds to operate. All furniture, horses, wagons, cattle and other goods and provisions were sold, and the academy was closed for eight years. 

The school was the only school in the territory mentioned in a treaty. In the second article of the Treaty of Separation between the Choctaws and Chickasaws in 1855, it was stipulated that should the new tribal boundary line not place Wapanucka Academy inside Chickasaw territory, an offset would be made to correct the situation. A survey subsequent to the treaty's ratification placed the school two miles within the Chickasaw Nation.

The method of operation at Wapanucka closely resembled that of the others schools with its long forty week term and meager salaries of the teachers. The method of instruction in home economics at Wapanucka was unique. The girls were divided into "families" with all ages and sizes and were under the care of an adult supervisor. It was believed this more closely approximated the conditions of home life, making for a more meaningful learning experience.

twelve miles northwest of Old Boggy, yet the citizens of the town took great interest in the school and considered the teachers and those in charge a part of the community. In 1855, Mr. Ballentine’s health forced him to resign his work for a time, during which Rev. Charles Wilson was in charge of Wapanucka Academy. At the close of the war, Mr. Ballentine continued his work as a missionary, and, also, taught the day school at Old Boggy, for a term.
