Yes. The Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) provides academic support in the form of organizational help, study skills, and math workshops. The Director of the Center for Teaching and Learning is available to provide advice to students having specific challenges meeting the demands of their academic work. The CTL serves as a resource for all students, not just those with particular learning differences. Students who require additional tutoring on a regular basis may arrange this through the Director of the CTL.

The Putney School welcomes applications from home schooled students. We ask all homeschooled applicants lacking a complete transcript from an umbrella organization to complete a portfolio worksheet so that we might accurately assess academic achievement and potential.
