Campus Life

Be Yourself & Feel Supported
Our community is large enough to allow for a richly diverse population, yet small enough to make every face on campus familiar—students and faculty form strong bonds here.

Advisor Program
The Suffield Academy faculty includes 90 men and women who serve as advisors, offering guidance and support to students throughout their journey. In addition to regular meetings, advisors host dinners, attend games, and provide encouragement year-round. They are also a valuable resource for parents.

Work Program
An essential component of campus life is the internal community service program called Work Program. The philosophy of this program is to promote pride in the school, respect for others, and a sense of responsibility and leadership. Student roles can be admissions tours, dish crew, library assistants, and more.

School Traditions
Our commitment to sustaining a strong community is apparent in many school traditions. Students and faculty gather for family-style lunch each day. There is a school meeting every Monday where seniors address the community. Other traditions include dress code and ringing the Bell at Commencement.
