Location

The Academy at Swift River is 20 miles from the Five College Area: The University of Massachusetts at Amherst, Smith College, Mount Holyoke, Amherst College and Hampshire College.

In the Pioneer Valley, The Berkshires are also home to Tanglewood, Jacob's Pillow, The Berkshire Theater Festival, The Williamstown Theater Festival, The Clark Art Museum, The Norman Rockwell Museum and the Shaker Village. Having these cultural resources all within 30 minutes of the school provides endless opportunities for students and faculty.

Located in the Foothills of the Berkshire Mountains the patience and inspiration of nature surrounds our students. Six hundred and thirty acres of mixed forest, meadows, beaver ponds and mountain streams are crossed by miles of marked trails. A connected campus, where students walk from one building to another, helps to reinforce the variety and wholeness of the experience. From the soaring barn-like ceilings of our library, to our modern fitness center and art and music studios, we offer students a state of the art campus built upon 200 years of history.
