Great school. Seek out AO and Honors courses. Seek out relationships with teachers. Very. Very. Very sports oriented. Join some teams.

Cushing has brought out the best in me. I've discovered who I am and what I am capable of with their guidance. They have helped me discover opportunities that I didn't realize existed. The best decision our family made.

Cushing Academy caters to the wealthy and does not offer scholarships at all to well deserved, high honors, athletically driven students of moderate income,my experience and observations proved this. Very Disappointing.... I am not sure of their formula for financial assistance but I am choosing better alternatives for 24/25.
