Loomis Chaffee vs. Deerfield Academy

Loomis Chaffee`s mission is to inspire in all our students a commitment to the best self and the common good.

Our accomplished faculty combine a rigorous academic curriculum and outstanding athletics, arts, and co-curricular programs with a focus on teaching you how to be an effective and engaged citizen.

We know students want to make a positive difference in the world - they want to solve problems big and small, and they want to do it now.

We provide you the opportunities and tools - through our Pearse Hub for Innovation (PHI); Alvord Center for Global & Environmental Studies; Norton Family Center for the Common Good; Center for Diversity, Equity & Inclusion; research programs in science and the humanities; and independent study projects - to take your learning and put it to immediate good use.

Whatever your interests may be, you will be celebrated for who you are and who you want to become.

You also will have fun and make life-long friends.

Visit Loomis online and in person to learn more; we look forward to meeting you.
