Science Footprint: Consumption Display Posters @ The Putney School
The Putney School recently redesigned our graduation requirements in terms of a student’s skills and proficiencies in specific academic areas, rather than in traditional terms of “seat-time” in class. In addition to overarching educational through lines such as collaboration, literacy, and argumentation, each academic department has articulated skills and content particular to that discipline.

The Putney School recognizes that all students learn differently. We have students with a variety of learning styles in every classroom and we do not treat those with diagnosed learning differences as “other.”
