Milford Academy is a post-secondary school founded in 1916 in Milford, Connecticut as Yale Preparatory School. The school has been located in New Berlin, New York since 2004. Although originally founded as a preparatory school, its current focus is as a school for athletes who have the potential to play sports at the collegiate level but are as yet academically unready.
