Greenwich Academy

Greenwich Academy is an independent, college-preparatory day school for girls in Greenwich, Connecticut. Founded in 1827, it is the oldest girls' school in Connecticut. The head of school is Margaret L. Hazlett. History Greenwich Academy was founded by members of the Congregational Church in 1827. Until the turn of the twentieth century, the school admitted both girls and boys. Then, in 1900, a Greenwich Academy English teacher founded the Brunswick School for Boys. In 1913, the Greenwich Academy Board of Trustees formally approved the decision to accept only girls in the Middle and Upper Schools, and Greenwich Academy was reconceived as a day school for girls. Coordination Since 1971, Greenwich Academy has had a coordinated relationship with the all-boys Brunswick School. Brunswick's upper school is located across the street from GA and high school students take classes on both campuses. Almost all classes at GA and Brunswick are co-ed.
