Pomfret School vs. Loomis Chaffee

Founded in 1894, Pomfret is a private high school for boarding and day students.

Set on a stunning 500-acre hilltop in Northeastern Connecticut, we are intentionally small with 350 students hailing from 29 states and 29 countries.

Our mission is to empower students to pursue lives of meaning and purpose, and our vision is to inspire the next generation of change makers and problem solvers.

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.
