Bridgton Academy

Bridgton Academy is an all-male college preparatory school in Bridgton, Maine. Founded in 1808, the school is located at the northern tip of Long Lake in North Bridgton, Maine. The school has been NEASC-accredited since 1934, making it one of the oldest accredited schools in the country. The school is also a member of the National Association of Independent Schools.

The campus holds 24 buildings. The majority of classes are held in the new Humanities Center. There are seven dormitories on campus ranging in capacity from 18-55 students. In recent history, the school has expanded its number of two-year students, allowing for students to complete their high school diploma at Bridgton, as well as spending their second, prep, year at the Academy. While women were historically part of the student body and a dormitory was opened to them in 1909, the academy does not currently admit women as students.
