Putney is currently in its best position since its founding in 1935, with strong leadership, operating surpluses, a growing endowment and an enviable reputation. Over the last century, nobody could have anticipated the environmental, education and sociological changes our society now faces, but in a sense, Putney has always been preparing for what’s next.
Like all independent schools, Putney depends on the generosity and support of its community. This presents an opportunity for the Putney community to come together in celebration of the past, present, and future.
An Aspirational Future
Student and Faculty Housing
Dorms are fundamental to the life and character of a boarding school. Architecture influences both individual and communal behavior.
Black Box Theater
The Putney School is a place where artistic expression is encouraged, supported and recognized as having the potential to create transformative opportunities for growth. The arts are intrinsically woven into the Putney experience and are one of the reasons students choose Putney. Theater has the capacity to build empathy, giving voice to diverse stories. Inherent in each ensemble it builds, theater strengthens community. In short: theater matters.
Student and Faculty Support
The Putney School is a unique place, and a destination for curious and creative minds. As a leader in progressive education, our community strives to embody our fundamental beliefs and values. For those who find their way to Putney and find a sense of belonging on the land and in the community, we need to ensure access. As with all things, this takes effort.
