School Notes
Founded in September 1960, Stratford Academy opened its doors
at the historic Overlook Mansion on Coleman Hill with 117 students
and 17 faculty members. Two years later, in 1962, the academy
celebrated its first graduating class of 13 students, marking the
beginning of a tradition of academic excellence. Since then,
Stratford has continued to graduate many more students who embody
its mission proudly.Today, Stratford Academy stands as an
independent, non-sectarian, college preparatory school catering to
students aged three through grade twelve. Committed to nurturing
students from diverse backgrounds and talents, Stratford challenges
each individual to achieve their full potential. Central to its
ethos is the development of ethical, responsible, and lifelong
learners.At Stratford Academy, we believe in molding students to be
responsible, ethical, life-long learners who are challenged, each
and every day, to reach their full potential. In pursuit of this
mission, we engage the whole child-mind, body, and spirit-inside
and outside of the classroom. Stratford's vision for the
educational experience today rests on the same values first formed
in 1960: excellence, integrity, freedom, responsibility, and
community while equipping our students to face a more global
future.
