Foxcroft Academy

Foxcroft Academy was established as a private secondary school on January 30, 1823, and it became the first school to be chartered after Maine became a state. 122 Town Academies have come
and gone over the past 190 years, and FA is now one of only nine remaining in the state.
When you come to FA, you’re not just enrolling in a school–you’re joining a community. Students at FA believe in giving back.
Varied experiences in community service teach and model giving to others and demonstrate the concept of community stewardship, ideas that are integral to the fulfillment of FA’s mission.
At FA, we take pride in our beautiful campus setting. Located on 125 acres, campus facilities blend classic with contemporary architecture and include four modern residence halls, five top-notch playing fields, four brand-new tennis courts, an outdoor basketball court, and a main academic complex.
FA is committed to preparing students to succeed in an increasingly tech-driven educational landscape and was the first high school in the state of Maine to provide an iPad to each and every student.
Students passionate about digital arts can choose from a range of courses including filmmaking, photography, and applied media production. 

Foxcroft Academy encourages applications from serious students who are open to new challenges and experiences. Admission to Foxcroft Academy is based upon the candidate’s school record, application essay, teacher and counselor recommendations, and standardized testing such as the DuoLingo, SSAT, or TOEFL.  A $75 processing fee is required at the time of the application. A campus visit and interview are highly recommended for all applicants although SKYPE interviews can be arranged for candidates who are unable to visit in person. Please call the Admissions Office at 207-564-8664 to arrange a campus tour and personal interview.
