Milford Academy (formerly Yale Preparatory School) is an all-boys post-secondary school originally located at 104 Gulf Street in Milford, Connecticut. The school endured many health violations, prompting the state to shut it down. It subsequently relocated to New Berlin, New York. Founded in 1916 as a college-preparatory school, it focuses on athletes who have the potential to play collegiate sports but who are not yet academically ready. The school places photographs and memorabilia of alumni who were drafted or signed by a professional sports team into the school's "hall of fame".
