About Hoosac School

For over 136 years, Hoosac has maintained and upheld Dr. Tibbits's core beliefs about a well-rounded boarding school experience: to educate the whole student, academically, athletically, socially as well as spiritually. It is Hoosac's mission to develop enthusiastic learners with creative minds and strong moral compasses who are ready to handle college and life with intelligence and grace. Hoosac is committed to sustaining the small scale preparatory school model in which each student receives an individualized education with attention, care and guidance and is offered the opportunity to grow socially within the Hoosac School community. Students benefit from a rigorous academic program, experiential off-campus programs, fine and performing arts, championship athletics, and a wide selection of extracurricular activities.

What Makes Us Unique

Hoosac held its first Boar's Head and Yule Log Pageant in 1892. Every year since students work hard to make their production the best yet. But Hoosac's budding singers and actors have some strong competition from the past — well known actor, the late Burgess Meredith who starred in both the Rocky movies & Batman, played the lead role when he was a student. Hoosac School recently finished construction of a new academic building on campus, Gipson Hall. The school added seven new classrooms, an art studio, and new nurse's office. Hoosac School has a Business Program unique to only Hoosac. Delivering lectures and managing the program is Dr. Kevin Robichaud, an esteemed business education expert who also serves as an adjunct professor at the Sages Colleges of Albany. His lectures offer valuable insights and perspectives that extend beyond traditional textbook learning. Additionally, students enrolled in Dr. Robichaud's classes have the opportunity to earn up to three college credits per course. Comprising seven courses, the program encompasses financial accounting, managerial accounting, macroeconomics, microeconomics, personal finance, human resource management, and marketing. Hoosac School also has an aviation program, where students can work towards earning their private pilot licenses.
