Woodstock Academy
The Academy, which describes itself as an independent school, serves residents from the Connecticut towns of Brooklyn, Canterbury, Eastford, Pomfret, Union, and Woodstock.The respective towns' taxpayers pay student tuition through municipal taxes, and therefore state agencies and the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) categorize Woodstock as a public school.[5] In 1977 the Connecticut State Freedom of Information Commission ruled that Woodstock Academy must make its records public.[4] In 1990 the school was planning to end Latin classes due to a lack of interest and the idea that students should study modern languages.It was announced in October 2016 that Woodstock Academy would purchase the nearby 127-acre (51 ha) Hyde School campus for $15 million.
