About Springfield
Welcome to Springfield
Springfield Commonwealth Academy (SCA) was founded in 2012 on a historical campus that first served as an all-girls school in 1890. After opening its doors, SCA has served as a distinguished, independent college preparatory boarding and day school for students in grades 9-12 and postgraduates. Our urban setting, diverse community, college preparatory curriculum, and boarding and athletics programs all work together to provide students with a well-rounded learning and living experience that prepares them to take on the world confidently.

Explore our School
Located in Springfield Massachusetts, SCA's 20-acre campus in the historic Ames Hill district is home to a small group of scholars who live, learn and excel together. Small classroom sizes and a low student-teacher ratio allows us to provide a very personal and safe learning experience for each individual student.
The faculty and staff do more than just teach; they are also mentors and friends. Outside of class, your favorite teacher or school leader can be found coaching sports or running student-centered clubs, and some even serving as dorm parents.
Boarding students at SCA live in renovated English and Spanish style mansions which were once home to Springfield's wealthiest residents who were industry leaders of their time.
The Springfield Commonwealth Academy community is full of talented, intelligent and highly-driven individuals. We are continuously growing as more of the world's brightest students and teachers join our school family.
