Deerfield Academy, founded in 1797, is an independent, co-educational boarding school located in Western Massachusetts. Whether it is playing on a team, acting, singing, mealtime in the Dining Hall or just hanging out with a faculty member at a dorm "feed", living at Deerfield is a unique experience, a chance to be surrounded by friends and classmates from all over the country and all over the world. The corridor is the center of social life on campus. Tradition is a living process at Deerfield. The style, tone, and character of the Academy are shaped in large part by its traditions. Deerfield is a school where the sound values, courtesy, and work ethic of New England guide school life. The Academy's 600 students live and learn in an atmosphere of warmth, caring, and support, which is to a great degree derived from the friendships among students and with the faculty. This tradition of spirit is also treasured by over 10,000 alumni of Deerfield Academy.
