The Academies at New Milford High School

The Academies at New Milford High School is an intensive multi-level program.  Students work on projects individually and in break-out groups. All the members of the Academies come together at least once a quarter for ‘big group’ work.

The Academies mission is to help students think critically and rationally, to enjoy the learning process in a cohort, and to be exposed to life experiences that may help to better prepare an individual for events beyond high school.  Each quarter, students are given a project to research, act on, show what they learned, and draw connections from learning to real life.  It is an exciting and thought-provoking program.

This is an extra program for students.  The work is intense and most of the work is done during the students’ time outside of the regular school day.
