Bridgton Academy seeks to enroll quality students with the ability to meet the demands of our program successfully and to contribute to the Academy by participating in all aspects of campus life. The admission process at Bridgton Academy is designed to be an exchange of information between the candidate and the Admission Committee. Therefore, we invite prospective students and their families to visit our campus for a tour and interview. This visit provides an opportunity for the family to learn first-hand what makes the Bridgton community a dynamic environment of open, warm, and talented people, and for the Admission Committee to learn about the personal qualities and goals of the candidate. In making an admission decision, Bridgton Academy considers not only a candidate's high school grades and SAT or ACT scores, but also his: motivation to pursue a postgraduate year potential to succeed in the Bridgton Academy program commitment to this program character To make this determination, the following steps are required of all applicants: Application Steps 1.

Class of 2009 Application Since Bridgton Academy operates on a rolling admission policy, there is no application deadline. The Admission Committee reviews a candidate for admission within two weeks after the interview and all application requirements have been met. However, since space in the class and financial aid resources are limited, candidates are encouraged to apply as early as possible. Applicants are notified in writing of the Admission Committee?s decision.
