School Notes:
  • Pomfret is a college preparatory boarding and day school for boys and girls in grades 9 through post-graduate. Pomfret School's advantage is its ability to meet the future without sacrificing its rich legacy of traditions. For more than a century, Pomfret has prepared students for higher education in an environment with a rigorous liberal arts curriculum, a challenging athletic program, and a community ethos that prioritizes civility, respect, and support.
  • Today, as in the past, the Pomfret faculty encourages students to set their standards aloft and to stretch to their highest potential. In this challenge, a student will find the support of adults that will enable him/her to succeed academically as well as in the extra-curricular realm. Faculty and students live and learn together--in and out of the classroom--and from this emerges the bonds of trust which join our students and faculty.
