Cheshire Academy is a co-educational college preparatory school located in Cheshire, Connecticut, United States. Founded in 1794 as the Episcopal Academy of Connecticut, it is the eleventh oldest boarding school in the United States.[1] In 1917, the school was renamed The Roxbury School, and trained young men exclusively for the purpose of attending nearby Yale University.[2] Later known as Cheshire Academy, the school was the first private academic institution to accept international students dating back to the 1850s,[3] and as of 2011[update] it is the only independent school to offer the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme in the state of Connecticut.[4]
The Academy enrolls about 360 students from approximately 31 countries and 19 states in grades 9 through 12 plus a postgraduate year.
