Suffield Academy is a private preparatory school located in Suffield, Connecticut. It was founded in 1833 to train young men for ministry in the Baptist Church. The tuition fees for students are currently $71,500 for boarding students and $49,500 for day students.[3] The head of the school is Charlie Cahn, who has been in post since 2004.[4] The school is coeducational, with slightly more than half the students (55%) being boys. Approximately 15% of the student body are students of color, 18% are international students, and 67% are boarders.[2]

Fourteen dormitories on campus house the boarding students with 90 faculty members serving as dormitory and student advisors as well as teachers and coaches.

## History

[edit]

The early mission of the school was to educate young men for the ministry. Despite its founding links to the Baptist Church, the institute quickly moved towards a non-denominational model and in 1833 was renamed Connecticut Literary Institute, locally known as CLI.[5] The institute was the only high school in town, and local government funding helped to pay for each student's tuition.
