Pomfret is a college preparatory boarding and day school for boys and girls in grades 9 through 12 and postgraduate. 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.
