fantastic and don't smell like
anything, unlike many dorms." |

Site
History: |
The history of
Suffield Academy is unique and
interesting, as the school has
constantly evolved since its start
in 1833.
Initially established as the
Connecticut Literary Institute (the
school was renamed Suffield School
in 1916 and then Suffield Academy in
1937), the mission of this school
with Baptist roots was to educate
young men for the ministry. As the
Connecticut Literary Institute was
the only high school in Suffield,
the town tax dollars paid for local
students to attend. To Read More,

About
the
Dorms: |
The
dorms are consistently one of the
highest rated out of all of our
sites. Being right next to the
training fields is great especially
with all of the training that goes
on during the course of a week.
All Dorms are
run by full-time faculty members and
range in style from traditional
dormitories to colonial-era houses.
All dorm rooms are wired for both
telephone and Internet use and
feature a common area with cable
television. |
