Bedford Academy High School is a place where you can be challenged academically and be surrounded by like minded people. You are being welcomed by warm staff and even from your freshman year in this school, you are being prepared for college, with AP courses as well as the college readiness classes offered.

Would not recommend this school. They give too much and they don't teach it properly or go too quick. Terrible food, and I've had times where I felt uncomfortable at this school. Overall, my time here was not the best and I truly hope this school works on changing. Do not be so harsh on us and try to give us time, make learning entertaining.

Both my sons attended Bedford Academy and of course are now college graduates. Mr. Mohammed and his entire team, treated these young men as if they were their own children. I found them to be nurturing and so passionate about all aspects of these boys lives, words are just not enough! Thank you. Ale...

My son goes to Bedford and I am so happy he is. He is learning exactly what he should be as a Sophomore. This was a great choice for him and I am so glad they are there for him.
