6 Day Work Program


Every student at Putney is expected to participate in the 6-day work program. These chores that sustain the community take about 40 minutes per day. To assure that students get a broad work experience there are five specific job requirements that need to be fulfilled for graduation, namely Barn chores, Dish crew, Dinner waiting, Lunch waiting and General Sub (short term substitutes for sick or absent students).
