The Oxford Academy, located in Westbrook, Connecticut, is an independent college preparatory boarding school.

The school was founded in 1906 in Pleasantville, New Jersey, by psychologist Dr. Joseph M. Weidberg.

Weidberg was concerned that students were not being well served in traditional educational settings and not thriving due to academic learning differences.

In 1947 Dr. Edward R. Knight was selected to succeed Dr. Weidberg as Headmaster followed by Frank Effinger in 1973, Dr. Jonathan A. Woodhall in 1975, and Philip H. Davis in 1983.

As of 2020, the faculty of Oxford consisted of 23 part-time members and three part time teachers.
