NYA educates its students with a comprehensive program that incorporates academics, the arts and athletics. We believe that a student’s character and development thrive in a well-rounded, supportive environment. Students are encouraged to advocate for themselves, manage their time effectively and discover their many strengths. Their teachers are their mentors, coaches, and friends and they are committed to bringing out the best in every student. 

Our promise is clearly stated in our mission statement. North Yarmouth Academy is dedicated to fostering integrity, character and intellect in young adults. Our comprehensive, college preparatory programs provide NYA students with: 

• Problem-solving skills based on sound analytical and creative thought;
• Sophistication in writing, speaking and artistic expression;

• Self-confidence and self-respect through a breadth of experiences that extend beyond the classroom; 
• Concern for the larger community and an appreciation for the natural environment; 
• Desire to continue the process of lifelong learning. 

North Yarmouth Academy seeks students whose academic ability, motivation and personal integrity will contribute significantly to the school community. The ideal NYA student is one who has a willingness to contribute to and benefit from a challenging academic program, a strong athletic experience, and participation in fine arts, music and drama.
