Suffield Academy is a private preparatory school located in Suffield, Connecticut. It was founded in 1833 to train young men for ministry in the Baptist Church. The tuition fees for students are currently $71,500 for boarding students and $49,500 for day students.[1] The head of the school is Charlie Cahn, who has been in post since 2004.[2] The school is coeducational, with slightly more than half the students (55%) being boys. Approximately 15% of the student body are students of color, 18% are international students, and 67% are boarders.[3]

Fourteen dormitories on campus house the boarding students with 90 faculty members serving as dormitory and student advisors as well as teachers and coaches.

History

The early mission of the school was to educate young men for the ministry. Despite its founding links to the Baptist Church, the institute quickly moved towards a non-denominational model and in 1833 was renamed Connecticut Literary Institute, locally known as CLI.[4] The institute was the only high school in town, and local government funding helped to pay for each student's tuition.
