Houghton Academy
Houghton Academy Co-ed Boarding School Information:
Houghton Academy is a coeducational, Christian, college preparatory school established in 1883.
The Academy is a traditional boarding school where motivated and capable students come to prepare for college. Over ninety percent of Academy graduates attend a four-year university immediately after graduation. The Academy’s location and size fosters a strong, supportive school community. Independent and mature students are encouraged to apply. Houghton Academy offers a positive environment where academic success is held in high regard. The small town in which the school is located offers a safe and secure environment for secondary students to live and study.
Because of the international boarding demographic at Houghton Academy, both the American and the international students have a unique opportunity to share and unite their cultures through communication in class time, after-school activities, and dorm life, gaining a truly global education. In addition to a strong academic program, the school offers a considerable array of athletic, artistic, musical, literary, and performing-arts extra-curricular activities.
Overview & Welcome
Houghton Academy offers a traditional boarding school environment in the context of a Christian philosophy of education. The distinguishing feature of a Christian philosophy of education is that the Academy employs Christian faculty and staff who are charged to serve as Christian role models while integrating the truth of Scripture into classes and activities.
With that as our philosophical orientation, we are happy to invite students from all religious or non-religious backgrounds to join us. In fact, we have now or recently enrolled students from all the major world religions who benefit from the very positive environment we offer, and who feel quite at home in our school.
For over a century, we have established an excellent track record of placing Academy graduates into colleges. Graduates from Houghton Academy are well-prepared for college and for life, possessing a solid foundation of academic knowledge as well as the moral framework with which to apply their knowledge. We offer a three-fold educational emphasis on head, heart and hands. We seek to supply core knowledge, allow knowledge to be informed by faith, and then encourage students to put their knowledge and faith into action.
