DAY STUDENT ADMISSION

While Houghton Academy is perhaps most noted for it's boarding program, we also accommodate students from surrounding communities. This creates a valuable and unique multicultural experience for our entire student body.

It’s one of my biggest and wisest decisions to send my daughter to Houghton Academy. HA is more like a family full of love, passion, faith as well as principles more than an impersonal school that only focuses on grades.
