College Preparation

The Academy’s academic program is designed to prepare you for college.  Academy teachers will get you excited about various subjects that you can explore in college and teach you the skills you will need to succeed there. 

Almost all of our students matriculate directly to a four year college.  Our college counselor works with our students and their families throughout the transition to college to help them navigate the entire process and find the colleges that best suit their talents and passions. Academy students choose to attend a range of schools.  In a recent year, students matriculated at:  Beloit, Berklee College of Music, Boston University, Brown, Colby, Guilford, Lawrence, Lewis & Clark, Middlebury, NYU, Oberlin, Pitzer, Prescott, Skidmore, UC Santa Cruz, UVM, and Williams.      

While preparing students for college is one goal, another is to help students find their best paths to adulthood.  We understand that our institutional goals of helping you find your passion and speak your mind could take you in different directions.  If going directly to a four-year college isn’t for you, we will help you figure out how to take a gap year, attend community college, serve our country in one form or another, engage in community service, or get a job.  We are committed to helping you choose the path that is best for you.
