Founded in 1763, The Governor's Academy is the oldest continuously operating boarding school in America. We prepare students for a successful future while celebrating the traditions of a long history. Our 450-acre campus is home to students who put their all into everything they do, from class assignments to team practice to community service. Our dedicated faculty members inspire students to develop a passion for intellectual inquiry. From classroms to the salt marsh, from art studios to athletic fields, from MIT science labs to a village in Kenya, our students engage in powerful learning.
