Craftsbury Schools - Craftsbury Academy

Craftsbury Academy

The term "Craftsbury Academy" refers to the main campus of the Craftsbury School System, which today serves a separate middle school and high school. The term also can refer to just the main building on the campus, or to the high school grade cluster.

Craftsbury Middle School serves grades five through eight, although in many cases grades five and six serves as a separate unit from grades seven and eight. The middle school is primarily housed in Minden Hall.

Craftsbury High School (often referred to as "Craftsbury Academy", as mentioned above) serves grades nine through twelve, and is primary housed in the upstairs of the old academy building. The high school has deep historic roots in the town, being created in the 1820s. There were eleven graduates in 2007, the typical size of a graduating class.

Famous quotes containing the word academy:

    I realized early on that the academy and the literary world alike—and I don’t think there really is a distinction between the two—are always dominated by fools, knaves, charlatans and bureaucrats. And that being the case, any human being, male or female, of whatever status, who has a voice of her or his own, is not going to be liked.
    Harold Bloom (b. 1930)
