You will often hear us say that Fryeburg Academy is someplace special. That’s because it is. Where else can students experience the diversity of classmates who represent over 20 countries? Where else can international students experience an authentic American high school education? This cultural reciprocity is the historic strength of our community. And diversity at Fryeburg Academy goes beyond culture. In a time when “specialization” in high schools is the norm, we offer and encourage a wide array of experiences, providing students the opportunity to discover their passions and who they are. In other words, our diversity is your opportunity.

Fryeburg is a classic New England village, nestled in the foothills of the White Mountains and home to Fryeburg Academy. Fryeburg offers a close-knit community with endless outdoor activities in every season. With over 800,000 acres of White Mountain National Forest, lakes, rivers, and four major ski resorts nearby—the opportunities to explore the region’s magnificent natural surroundings are boundless. Fryeburg is also rich in culture and entertainment, thanks to thriving local resort towns like North Conway and the proximity of larger cities like Portland and Boston that are within an hour and 2.5-hour drive respectively.
Students quickly build peer and faculty relationships that span cultures, genders, and ages. This feeling of community stretches beyond campus, into the village of Fryeburg and area towns where day students and school alumni live; many open their homes and families to boarding students during weekends and vacations. Day and boarding students share afternoon, evening, and weekend time on campus, socializing, utilizing academic resources, and attending athletic and other school events.

In the middle of somewhere...
We focus on teaching the skills that lead to academic success: critical thinking, inquiry, and problem solving. Because students are not ‘tracked,’ they are exposed to a variety of teaching and learning methods that demonstrate there is more than one way to think, process information, and express an idea. This is what we describe as diversity in learning. The result? Responsible, prepared, and driven graduates who go on to attend the best colleges...and succeed.

This program is an opportunity for students to gain real-world experience in a field of interest. Internships are intended to broaden student awareness of potential career fields, develop their workplace skills and ethics, and contribute positively to business and services in the Mount Washington Valley.
We encourage student travel and cultural study. Spring break trips have included travel to Costa Rica, France, Italy, Morocco, and Spain. French Club weekend travels to Quebec City and Montreal. Canada is also a popular opportunity.

Our Arts program was created to bring an appreciation of the fine arts into students’ lives by cultivating their individual talents, encouraging original expression, and fostering creative discovery. On campus, students experience, live professional performances in the Leura Hill Eastman Performing Arts Center, view professionally curated exhibits in the PACE and Goldberg Galleries, and display their own works of art in the Nadler Gallery.
