Fryeburg Academy

High school is like writing a new book; the “choose your own ending” type of story. Every decision that you make will alter your direction, creating opportunities or causing you to pause, retrace your steps, and start again.

You own this journey; you are the author of your future. Your interest in Fryeburg Academy means we have entered your story. Where will it lead you?

Our community extends beyond the border of campus. As a town academy, community is at the heart of our school: you will be cheered on by your classmates, teachers, friends, and the town itself. You will be known individually and welcomed into the hearts of our greater community.
