Cheshire Academy, founded in 1794, offers a stimulating college-preparatory program that strives at each level to help every student realize his or her potential. Offering advanced courses and supportive environments, our student-centered philosophy places the learner at the center of the educational process and promotes close connections between the students and adults who comprise our school community. Academic, artistic and athletic programs share equal importance with character education and 2009 college matriculations include Williams and Cornell.
