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.

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

Here, you’re empowered to embrace who you are and who you want to be.
