No student’s pathway through Putney is the same. Because our education is tailored to an individual’s interests and passions, each student’s classes will be different. However, schedules are built around a structured framework based on required courses and credits that students must meet in order to graduate. We operate on a trimester system.

At Putney it’s normal to be so multi-faceted. I really love the people, and how tight knit we are. I’ve learned that self advocacy is a real thing.
