Why did you choose Bridgton Academy?
I wanted to reach all the goals I mentioned above and I knew the best place to do that is here at Bridgton Academy. From what I heard, researched and learned, if I put in the effort I would get everything out of Bridgton Academy that I wanted to.
How is Bridgton Academy different that your high school?
The help, guidance and support does not compare to high school. The staff here does more than their “job.” I have been here for a little over five weeks and I have already seen the staff go above and beyond for myself and others multiple times. The classes are smaller than in high school so there is plenty of one-on-one opportunities with the teachers. The staff deeply cares about each and every student and truly believes in this school and I don’t think I can say the same for high school.
How is our coaching different from what you received in high school?
The coaching is unbelievable; I have learned more here at Bridgton than I ever did in high school. The year has only just begun and I know my ability and knowledge of baseball will improve throughout the year. The encouragement the baseball staff gives our players is something I did not see in high school. I am already a different player, mentally and physically.

If you are even slightly interested in Bridgton Academy and are given the opportunity to attend, don’t let it pass you by. The experience only gets better every day. It may not be the most appealing choice you have, but do not let that steer you away from this opportunity.

Interesting fact about yourself:
I love to be outside and do outdoor activities. Skiing, riding dirt bikes, fishing and playing pickup hockey.
