In addition to our excellent course offerings including higher-level mathematics and academic science classes, Cottage Hill Academy offers remedial programs for students who need extra support in
academics - a vibrant Title I program and preparation classes for the MCAS exams. We also offer a
wide range of co-curricular and extra curricular activities including an athletic program that offers interscholastic soccer, basketball, and softball. In addition, we have an active girls’ choir and a theater
arts program. Electives include culinary arts, ceramics, and art.

Cottage Hill Academy also provides day programming for students who live in the immediate area.
We are able to provide educational diagnostic testing to students through requests from parents and
local education agencies. Families are encouraged to participate in their daughter’s educational
progress, and are invited to all activities related to their daughter’s educational program including Individual Education Plan meetings, progress meetings, and school open houses, performances, and Recognition Day.
