Greens Farms Academy (GFA) is a K-12 independent preparatory co-educational day school in the Greens Farms section of Westport, Connecticut, drawing 650 students from numerous towns of central southern Fairfield County. Greens Farms Academy is located on a campus near Long Island Sound, a salt marsh and an Audubon woodland. The school began as a Vanderbilt estate, but has now expanded into multiple buildings, including a new section for the Upper and Middle Schools.
Greens Farms Academy is known throughout Fairfield county and Connecticut for excellence in teaching. Recent programs have included a focus on being environmentally friendly and on incorporating a global view into the curriculum. There are several off-campus learning opportunities in the Upper School, including School Year Abroad, a semester at sea, the Island School and the High Mountain Institute.
The school resides on a family estate previously belonging to the Vanderbilt’s.[1]
