Greens Farms Academy (GFA) is a K-12 independent preparatory co-educational day school in the Greens Farms section of Westport, Connecticut, drawing students from numerous towns of central southern Fairfield County. Greens Farms Academy is located on a beautiful campus surrounded by the Long Island Sound. The school began as a Vanderbilt house, but has now expanded into not only that house, but many buildings, including a brand new section for the Upper School and a new performing arts wing. Greens Farms Academy has a very good college acceptance record, with many students going on to attend Ivy League colleges such as Yale, Harvard, Cornell and Brown. Most AP courses are not fully offered to students.

Greens Farms Academy is known throughout Farfield county and Connecticut for excellence in teaching.
