A list of some of the top boarding
schools in Connecticut:
Avon Old Farms School (Avon)
As a boys' boarding school, our programs are designed specifically to
help young men focus on their development at a time in life when
distractions abound. Although numerous opportunities exist for our
students to interact with girls from Miss Porter's, Ethel Walker's and
other nearby schools, boys are free to live and learn in our structured,
supportive environment. In an all-boys context, our students embrace
scholastic challenges and compete in the athletic arena while feeling
safe exploring the arts, experimenting with poetry, expressing school
spirit, and just being themselves.

Choate Rosemary Hall (Wallingford)
From its shared roots over a century ago as The Choate School and
Rosemary Hall, through the merger in 1974, to the Choate Rosemary Hall
of today, the name represents the best in American secondary education.
The more than 16,000 graduates can attest to the quality of Choate's
academic program, but that is only one aspect of the education a student
receives. Through interactions with members of the entire Choate
community, students mature into young adults who not only have stretched
their minds, but have grown personally, spiritually, artistically, and
athletically.

Hotchkiss School (Lakeville)
The Hotchkiss School is an independent
boarding school located in Lakeville, Connecticut. Founded in 1891, the
school provides an education of unsurpassed quality to 567 students in
grades 9 through 12, and to a small number of postgraduates. Students at
Hotchkiss come from across the United States and 18 foreign countries.
Graduates attend many of the most selective universities and colleges.

Kent School (Kent)
Founded in the Episcopal tradition, as were many New England boarding
schools, Kent has retained its spiritual affiliation in an era when many
other institutions have relinquished theirs. Our diverse student body
comes from a variety of religious backgrounds and secular traditions.
Supported by two School Chaplains, students at Kent find an atmosphere
which supports the beliefs and practices of all faiths by actively
encouraging moral and spiritual understanding and growth. The whole
school gathers at St. Joseph's Chapel for two weekday services, which
often include a student, faculty, or guest speaker or performance. Thus,
the spiritual component of life at Kent School contributes to our sense
of community, provides students with a moral basis -- and resources --
for decision-making, and enriches the quality of life and education at
Kent.

Miss Porter's School (Farmington)
The small, close-knit community and comfortable atmosphere at MPS make
it very special, as do the close relationships that students develop
with teachers. The age-old traditions make it a warm place to be and
bring students closer as they become a part of Miss Porter's School
history.

Farmington Connecticut
860 409-3500
Pomfret School (Pomfret)
A Pomfret education is more than the acquisition of information or
learning other people's ideas. Students who are successful at Pomfret
are eager to problem solve, to question, and to be curious. It also
entails the process of growing as a person and as a citizen of a
community. The Pomfret community embraces intellectual freedom that
requires academic discipline, honesty, and hard work.
