 Headmaster's Welcome
Our mission at Bridgton Academy is "to provide a program for young men in a unique, one-year postgraduate environment to prepare for the competitive rigors of college and beyond." We hope that this website will illustrate the programs and resources provided at Bridgton Academy to help you meet these challenges. As you consider a postgraduate year at Bridgton Academy as a part of your educational future, I remind you of the many thousands of young men who came before you and for whom this truly was "the year that makes a difference." I encourage you to explore further the potential that a year at Bridgton Academy represents. I invite you and your family to visit the Academy, and I look forward to meeting you. David Hursty The Postgraduate Year This year is a time of challenge and change, of learning and excitement, and of growth and achievement. We are proud of our tradition of excellence in helping young men find clarity of purpose that will change their lives. Bridgton Academy is the only preparatory school in the nation exclusively devoted to the postgraduate year. Our focus is solely on a postgraduate program committed to helping young men develop the academic skills, study skills, self-discipline, and self-confidence necessary to succeed in college. We offer several programs tailored to the needs of the postgraduate student. Through the College Articulation Program (CAP), qualified students at Bridgton may take courses for transferable college credit. Eighty percent of the past five graduating classes have taken at least one CAP course at Bridgton. Additional programs include: the Program for Academic Support (PAS) for students with diagnosed learning disabilities; the Writing Program; and the SAT Preparatory Program. |
