Established in 1814, North Yarmouth Academy is an independent, college-preparatory coeducational school for toddlers through Grade 12. Just 10 miles from downtown Portland, NYA is located in the center of historic Yarmouth, Maine. NYA attracts students who value new and challenging academic experiences and who seek the satisfaction and reward that come from dedication, commitment, and hard work. At NYA, it is “cool” to study hard, to participate in a wide variety of programs, to take advantage of new opportunities, and to be a committed and responsible member of the school community. NYA’s ethic defines and articulates the school’s commitment to the values of respect, honesty, perseverance, compassion, and responsibility.
