Welcome to Barnstable Academy! 

For more than 30 years, Barnstable Academy has been home to students who have differing styles of learning.  Here, students in grades 5-12 have every opportunity to succeed, academically and socially, in a college prep environment.

Education doesn't work when it is one-size-fits-all.  Not every student learns in the same manner.  By offering a smaller setting, taking a nurturing approach and having teachers focused on maximizing each student's individual talents, we have found that all students are capable of reaching their own true potential.

We have countless stories of students who arrived at our school uncertain about the future of their education, and have since gone on to become successful members of society, college students, college graduates, and/or professionals in their chosen fields.  For us, these success stories are the truest reflection of a Barnstable education.

Barnstable administrators and teachers are committed to "Our Promise" to provide a safe, nurturing college-prep education that encourages students who learn differently to reach new levels of success and achieve their goals. 

In the words of Eleanor Roosevelt, "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams".

Yours in Education,
Lizanne M. Coyne, Head of School
