Wolfeboro Academy was originally called Wolfborough
and Tuftonborough Academy and was opened in 1821. It served
for 70 years as the Christain Institute and nine years as
Wolfeboro High School. In 1887, the original charter was
amended and, under the provisions of the will of John Brewster,
dated January 17, 1883, the name of the school was changed
to Brewster Free Academy. No restriction was placed upon
any individual desiring to attend and receive instruction
from said school or academy on account of his or her age,
sex, or color, provided only he or she is of good moral
character." There was also the direction that the income
be "expended wholly for salaries of teachers for instruction
and educational purposes of said School or Academy so ,
near as possible as to make instruction and education therein
free.
