Bridgton Academy

Since 1808 we have been dedicated to our mission which is to “provide a program for young men in a unique, one-year postgraduate environment to prepare for the rigors of college and beyond.” Bridgton Academy consists of an adult community committed to developing the whole student by providing a dynamic and challenging skills-based curriculum, a diverse campus life, and an appropriate extracurricular program to promote mental, social, and physical growth. The Bridgton Academy graduate should have grown through the postgraduate experience so that he enters college with improved confidence, values, judgment, life skills, and maturity to succeed. Our teachers, coaches, dorm parents, advisors and administration have constant contact with our young men, helping guide them through their year at Bridgton. And our staff continually supports our students, and teaches them to use their own strengths to navigate through challenges, ultimately building self-confidence and self-advocacy.
