Pomfret School is an independent college preparatory boarding and day school for students in grades 9 through 12 and postgraduates. Admission to the School is competitive. Since its founding in 1894, Pomfret has focused on innovation and progressive thinking about what a great education should be. “If the next generation is to flourish in a changing world,” says Head of School Tim Richards, “we must prepare them wisely, differently, and well.” At Pomfret, learning is student-centered, relevant, and meaningful. It happens within a variety of contexts through multiple instructional approaches. And it requires appropriate levels of rigor and challenge to foster growth and develop mastery.
