Colby–Sawyer College is a private baccalaureate college in New London, New Hampshire. It was founded as a coeducational academy in 1837 and sits on a 200-acre (0.81 km) campus.
A legislative charter was granted by the State of New Hampshire in 1837 to 11 New London citizens for the purpose of establishing a school in the town. The eleven men who were named as the academy's incorporators were Joseph Colby, Anthony Colby, Perley Burpee, Jonathan Greeley, John Brown, Jonathan Herrick, David Everett, Samuel Carr, Walter Flanders, Jonathan Addison and Marshall Trayne.
It was a coeducational secondary school, for which Susan Colby served as the first teacher and principal. It opened with a student body of 26 girls and one boy, but soon enrolled 54 male students.

Colby-Sawyer College has again been recognized as one of the top colleges in the region by&nbsp;U.S. News &amp; World Report, earning top 10 rankings in three categories in its 2021 Best Colleges issue.

The college&rsquo;s best ranking &mdash; a fifth-place standing in the report&rsquo;s Best Value Schools &ndash; North list &mdash; came in a category that recognizes the overall value of institutions. According to&nbsp;U.S. News, schools are ranked based on several criteria, including a quality-to-price ratio, distribution of need-based aid and overall undergraduate costs covered through scholarships or grant awards.

Colby-Sawyer ranks eighth in the report&rsquo;s Best Regional Colleges &ndash; North list for a second straight year, placing ahead of 53 similarly sized institutions from Pennsylvania to Maine. The category ranks both public and private institutions focused on undergraduate education that grant fewer than 50% of their degrees in liberal arts disciplines. Of the seven schools to place ahead of Colby-Sawyer in the category, five are publicly funded.
