The Bell on Suffield's Bell Hill is a central school symbol. All students ring it after receiving their Suffield diplomas at Commencement, and victorious athletic teams ring it throughout the year.

St. Albert's dormitory
More than a century has passed since Mr. Taft founded our school. While the world and the school have changed dramatically, his fundamental values endure: work hard, without regard for public acclaim; develop all your talents: academic, artistic, and athletic; and most importantly, give of yourself to others.
Forman has a total of 13 dormitories on campus. The majority (85%) of students are boarders, but day students are invited to participate fully in evening study halls, meals, social events and other campus activities.
Our campus is located along the shores of the Housatonic River, adjacent to the town of Kent.
The tenth private school founded in the United States, Cheshire Academy’s history stretches back to 1794, and enjoys a rich legacy of freedom of religion, cultural diversity and inclusion. Pictured here is Bowden Hall, the oldest schoolhouse in continuous use in the state of Connecticut.
