The Governor's Academy is the oldest boarding school in New England. We prepare students for a successful future while celebrating the traditions of a long history. Since our founding days, students have grown into the kind of leaders who put the needs of the wider world before their own. Our earliest graduates helped shape a young nation, among them, a Revolutionary War hero, a naval commander, and a signer of the Declaration of Independence.Today, while much has changed, the heart of what we do is the same. We are educating the leaders of tomorrow. The Governor's experience provides students in grades 9 – 12 with the tools they need to become citizen leaders of the world.
