Coming to Suffield from an extremely small yet competitive junior boarding school- Fay School- I did not expect to see a community that upholds the same values while also supporting and challenging me at the same time. Not only are the faculty here highly invested and genuinely passionate about my high school experience, but the academic and athletic rigor within the other students also drive me to succeed as well. The support system I have felt here has been unmatched and I have found people I can lean on not only in the classroom, but in the dorms, on the court, and in the pool. Furthermore, as a boarder, the weekly activities offered here gives me and my friends something to look forward to every weekend; whether is it school dances, fairs, formal dinners, spike ball tournaments, or simply just walking around the beautiful campus. I will forever be grateful for picking Suffield Academy to nurture and achieve my goals in high school.

Going to Suffield for the last 4 years has been an amazing experience for me! The connection between day students and boarding students is unnoticeable! I had an amazing social life with a strong challenge in the classroom and on the field in my sports! Suffield taught me responsible and helped me gain confidence. This school has helped me grow the past 4 years and I have no doubt that it will help you!
