Brumundum Academy is an independent boarding school located in the parish of Rôn 10 km north of Brumundum in Rämland, Vermrike. The school was founded in 1899 and has approximately 300 students today. The school is run by the Brumundum Academy Foundation, Brumundum Akademis Stifteting and is well known for its conservative atmosphere. The school consists of six dormitories, of which three are boys' dormitories (Vargen, Björnstugan and Grahngren), and three are girls' dormitories (Kullapalatset, Mårdskogen and Annaborgen).

Brumundum Academy is known as one of the most prestigious secondary schools in the country, and has fostered many leading politicians and business leaders. Other notable individuals that have been enrolled include King Olaf V, who studied at Brumundum between 1950 and 1952. In 1967, the school was heavily critisized after two 14-year old students went missing.

The school's seal is a stylized cross that symbolizes the school's traditional christian values.
