Public (often described as independent) school in Norwich, Connecticut, USA
The Norwich Free Academy (commonly called "NFA ") founded in 1854 and in operation since 1856, is a high school located in the city of Norwich, Connecticut . The Academy serves as the primary high school for Norwich and the surrounding towns of Canterbury , Bozrah , Voluntown , Sprague , Lisbon , Franklin , Preston and
several others. It was recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as a National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence in 2001. The class of 2006 graduated in NFA's 150th year of operation.
The Norwich Free Academy was incorporated in 1855 by an act of the Connecticut Legislature, and it operates as an endowed educational institution. It is governed by its Board of Trustees without control from either the City of Norwich or the Norwich Public Schools .[citation needed The Academy therefore describes itself as an independent school . The Connecticut State Department of Education does not list NFA in its list of non-public schools,[2] public school because the state of Connecticut oversees the school.[3] Connecticut Association of Independent Schools .[4]
