International Students
We are NFA, the school where bold decisions go hand in hand with responsible stewardship. Where independence is tradition and boundless opportunity paves the way to the future.
Founded in 1854, NFA is a privately endowed, independently governed school, located on a beautifully landscaped 38 acre, nine-building campus, nestled like a small New England College on the east side of the city of Norwich, Connecticut.
I chose NFA because of its proximity to Boston and New York, and the fencing team but I was a little nervous of what to expect. The teachers and students have been great and have really made this an exciting experience.
