Cheshire Academy offers strong academics and competitive athletics, providing a great balance for student-athletes. The teachers are supportive, but the workload can sometimes be overwhelming. Improved communication from teachers and more investment in sports facilities would make the experience even better.

This school was a blessing. Small, humble, but full of love and care. It was a leap of faith sending my child to boarding school, but it worked out well. The small class sizes allows for faculty to get to know the students in a meaningful way, which trickles into the boarding life. My child has grown immensely in just a year, and I can't wait to see what the next four years bring.

My son spent freshman through junior year at Cheshire and had an excellent academic experience. His teachers were top quality. However, I feel that Cheshire did not supervise my son, who was a boarder, adequately, nor did they contact me when there were behavior incidents that I feel warranted paren...
