Welcome to Essex Aggie!
Welcome to 166 acres of opportunity! Essex Aggie. If you are curious and are looking for a place with an innovative approach to learning, with a hands-on approach to education, and a place where you can be yourself - Essex Aggie is the place for you. Once you are here, you will be reluctant to leave. You will learn and grow in a high school atmosphere that has more the feel of a small college in a rural setting! Everyone at Essex Aggie works together - students, faculty, administration, and staff - in and out of the classroom.
Speaking of classrooms, you should see some of ours: the three ponds on campus, the pine stand, raccoon run, the arboretum, oak leaf lane, and the pastures. Or the aquaculture center, the greenhouses, the horse barn, the vet-tech lab, or small animal labs.
Half of your time here will be spent in agricultural classes - with animals, with plants, with machinery, and often outdoors - yet your academic classes will prepare you well for MCAS and for college if you choose to apply. In fact over 86% of our students do choose to go on to further education.
We bring experience to life! Your Essex Aggie education will put you on an educational and career path where you won't be stuck behind a desk all day. It's your first step toward working with: large and small animals, aqua culturists, environmental agencies and organizations, foresters, arborists, the greenhouse industry, landscapers and landscape architects, and people in the veterinary care industry.
See how you can make all of this happen here at Essex Aggie - follow your dreams!
