Dear Parents,

Welcome to Bedford Academy,

The school has attained a well-deserved reputation for providing its students with a challenging curriculum designed to specifically meet the individual needs of each learner. Our teachers strive to create a nurturing atmosphere in which all Academy students feel encouraged and supported within every aspect of their learning. Parents frequently comment on the positive quality of the relationship between the children and their teachers, which our small school atmosphere generates. The individual attention the Academy ensures its students receive has been one of the many factors parents indicate as the deciding factor in selecting Bedford Academy as the educational choice for their child.

Each school year brings forth significant growth and change, none more so than this year with the much anticipated unveiling of Academy Hall and South Wing. The construction of the gymnasium has enabled the school to take its Athletic and Fine Arts programs to greater heights. The Intramural program with Argyle, Fife, Moray and Lanark Houses has generated tremendous school spirit with the whole student body coming together to compete and cheer for their team. Our Bronco teams now practice and play out of the Metro areas most prestigious athletic facility.

The Fine Arts program now branches into several dimensions with new staging and sound systems. The Band and Drama Performance program provides numerous opportunities for our students to experience a wide variety of performance venues.

I feel very strongly that the communication between home and school is a crucial element in your child's scholastic success. I will make every effort to keep you fully apprised of your child's progress throughout the school year.

I look forward to sharing in the celebration of your child's many achievements.

Yours truly,

Nancy J. Wallace, Director
Bedford Academy
