Student Profiles

Ibrahim
Senior
Massachusetts
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.

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

Sumeir

Putney has cultivated this idea of community, that anything I do has to be working for something greater and bigger than myself.


Corinne
Senior

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.
