I have had the privilege of having all 4 of my children at NYA for the last 7 years (4th,6th,8th 10th grade). We moved from out of state and it very quickly became apparent that the school was going to be a place of growth and community for not only them but my husband and I.The education is fantastic. 0ur children have their own learning style.Small class size and extremely dedicated staff truly catered to their needs.The staff is always available for extra help and the plethora of out of the classroom learning experience is fantastic.From river clean ups to museum visits.The requirement of both art and athletics for all middle schoolers creates well balanced individuals who interact with students that otherwise may not have been in their friend circle. The high school prep hockey program was a big draw for us.The new facilities at Travis Roy Arena are phenomenal and have included a brand new fitness center for all the NYA community to use.It is truly a community not just a school.

North Yarmouth Acadmey is an incredibly advanced K-12 school. It's academic programs are all taught at an honors level as a base and are taught at advanced and AP levels above that. The teachers are well versed in their subjects and are easily accessible for and supportive of students who need additional assistance. It also excells in exposing students to a broad range of not just academic subjects, but also art, music, theater and sports.

The welcome everyone and make sure that they get the academic help they need and strive to do well.

NYA has been a great place for our son to spend his middle years. We have appreciated small classes where he is unable to “slip through the cracks” as we felt he had at public school. He continues to benefit from the focus on executive functioning skills in 6th grade learning organization skills. He...

Both of our sons have attended NYA's Middle School in the past 3 years, and our daughter will be starting 6th grade in the fall. As our children approached school age, we opted for the strong public schools in the area. All was good until Covid, and we quickly realized that due to sheer size and wha...
