Betts Academy was a well-known private academy in Stamford, Connecticut that operated from 1838 to 1908.
The school was founded in 1838 in North Stamford by James Betts, a Congregational Church deacon originally from Wilton, Connecticut.[1] Later his son, William J. Betts, became principal of the school, and the Academy was relocated to Strawberry Hill overlooking Long Island Sound in Stamford.[2] [1] [3] The school burned in a fire in 1908 and was closed that year.[4]
