Welcome to ��ϳԹ�

A Place for Purposeful Collaboration

��ϳԹ� is different. We’re an independent boarding and day school for students of all genders. Our community knows and honors each individual. Our faculty teach what they love. Our students challenge their understanding of themselves and the world. Together, we’re building a more just and sustainable future.

Our Curriculum

Four athletes compete in a hurdling race on a track. One athlete is in mid-air, clearing a hurdle, while the others follow closely behind.

For a school this personal, the faculty-designed electives in our curriculum are unrivaled. Your academic experience won’t be quite like anyone else’s. Ready to try something new? Go broad. Find a passion? Go deep.

Your perspective, culture, and life experiences matter. Honoring every individual in our diverse community means seeing and respecting the whole you—mentally and physically, socially and emotionally, artistically and academically.

CA is intentionally small and relational. We don’t have a class ranking system or give academic awards. You’ll be well-prepared for college, but our focus isn’t on measuring you against others. It’s on developing your potential.

Weekly one-on-one advising provides structure to help you expand your comfort zone and make sure you’re successful. You’ll notice the difference it makes to get consistent support from an adult who knows you well.

Fully Engaged

Creativity is CA’s core. It’s part of what sets us apart. Here, everyone studies the arts as part of our curriculum, with plenty of opportunities to do more. Athletes don’t have to choose, either. From competitive team sports to dance, we offer options to suit every interest. And living and learning go hand in hand—our residential life program benefits both boarding students and day students who enjoy an active campus in the evenings. It’s all part of the CA experience.

Hear it from the student

Jamal Pandey ’27 (he/him)

Boarding Student · Queens Village, N.Y.

“I chose CA for its very welcoming community for me to transition into from such a small middle school. I also really appreciated how kind and open faculty members were.”

Caroline Kellett ’27 (she/her)

Day Student · Acton, Mass.

“At CA, everyone follows a path that highlights their interests, fostering a community where there is a love of learning. I was also very drawn to the close-knit community of CA because it differed greatly from the public middle school that I attended previously. So, the concept of common trust, and seeing teachers at dinner or athletic events, made me excited to experience an environment that cared so deeply about its students.”

Davis Keeffe-Jones ’27 (he/him)

Boarding Student · Orleans, Mass.

“I knew that CA was right for me because of the freedom it offers students, especially those in the boarding program. From extended campus to the commuter rail into Boston, I have been able to find myself and my independence. Additionally, CA’s wide curriculum offers me a great opportunity to explore my interests and discover new ones.”
