Admission Events at The Governor’s Academy

Throughout the year, we offer a number of unique opportunities to meet our Massachusetts independent school admission team. Whether you would like to visit us on campus (which we highly recommend!), attend an event in the greater Boston area or far away from Byfield, or connect with us virtually, we are excited to meet you and give you valuable insight into everything Governor’s has to offer.

Below is a list of currently scheduled events. If you have questions prior to an event or would like to schedule your visit to our campus, please reach out to our admission office at 978.499.3120. We look forward to meeting you!
