Located in picturesque southeastern Vermont, The Putney School was founded as a place for progressive education. We work to set students up for their own success. And we have a long history of doing just that. Our process is time tested. Our way of learning, leading, and growing can’t be found anywhere else.
Your peers. Your friends. Your support system.

The art curriculum has shown me that there are other important things to society, and to learning about each other, and to life in general, because, through art, people express how they feel or express what they see.

My favorite class this term is actually calculus, which is strange because I’ve never loved math, ever. But I’m really understanding everything, and my classmates are super funny and collaborative.

Putney really allows you to come up with your own ideas. You’re not going to be judged. It’s like you’re free.

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.
A campus that lives, breathes, grows, and adapts.
Our campus is alive and vibrant: A dynamic environment filled with dynamic people. A place that’s always in process. Whether you’re growing food in our garden, working on our farm, or just enjoying all four seasons in Vermont, you’ll grow as a learner and a person. Here, you’re empowered to embrace who you are and who you want to be.
