This program extends the artistic and creative possibilities offered to students during the academic day with over twenty arts-based classes. It’s an opportunity for students to unwind, try something entirely new, or to delve more deeply into an art form for which they have already developed a passion.

Science Footprint: Force Vector Table @ 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. These “footprint videos” are traces of the various projects, activities, and challenges Putney students navigate in the sciences as they learn the specific skills and knowledge required for graduation.
