Schools in Sturbridge
 
 Public Schools
  
Sturbridge is part of the five-town Tantasqua Union 61 School District.  The other four towns in the district are Brimfield, Brookfield, Holland, and Wales.  Each of the five towns has its own elementary school for grades K-6:
 
Brimfield Elementary
Holland Elementary
For grades 7-8, students from all five towns converge to attend the district-wide Tantasqua Junior High School

The very young Tantasqua Regional High School serves the five towns' students in grades 9-12.  Its strong academic program, along with its music, art and athletics programs, speak to the commitment to education found in this region.
 
School News:  The expansion of Burgess Elementary School here in Sturbridge is well under way.  Plans are for the new wing to open at the start of the 2011-2012 school year. Full day kindergarten will be put into place at that time.  Stay tuned for more info.
 
Also, it looks like the Junior High will be getting a new roof in the next year or two.
 
In-depth information on each school can be found at the district's web site:
