About CVA

Campus

Carrabassett Valley Academy is located in the Western Mountains of Maine at the base of Sugarloaf Mountain, Maine's largest ski resort. It is the northernmost ski and snowboard academy in the East. Sugarloaf Mountain and the rugged surrounding terrain have shaped a close-knit community between the town, the resort, and Carrabassett Valley Academy.

King Cummings Campus

Carrabassett Valley Academy's King Cummings Campus was named in honor of H. King Cummings, a founding chair of CVA. Cummings developed a school that enriched the community and gave student-athletes the opportunity to reach their highest potential. The 22-acre campus features the Webber Academic Center, where classes are held, and Murfey Hall, where three floors of dormitory space are located.

The 17,000-square-foot state-of-the-art Webber Academic Center opened its doors in 2014. The center, which connects to the Murfey Residential Hall, is named in honor of Peter and Martha Webber, members of the founding board of trustees who supported CVA throughout their lifetimes.
The Fremont-Smith Field was dedicated in 2003 in appreciation and recognition of Paul and Carol Fremont-Smith, Jr.
The Atrium connects the Webber Academic Center to Murfey Hall. This inviting common area is a place to enjoy breakfast or a snack, chat with friends by the fireplace, or do homework sitting on a comfy couch. The area also features a game room with foosball, ping pong, and billiards tables.
The 22-acre CVA Campus Grounds feature numerous recreational opportunities. Outdoor skate ramp, trampoline, mountain bike trails, swimming spots, and a rail hill in the winter are just steps outside your dorm room. Evening campfires, studying in a hammock, or playing frisbee are some favorite weekend activities.
Constructed in 2007, Murfey Hall features three floors of spacious dormitory rooms and dorm parent apartments with amazing mountain views. Each floor has a common room for hanging out or studying and a community kitchen for shared meals.
CVA student-athletes defy gravity every day in our Anti-Gravity Complex (AGC).
