Why Putney Works

We are a coeducational boarding and day school for grades 9 – 12. As a progressive school, we believe people learn best by doing. You will learn the art and skill of self motivation and self direction. You will discover issues, actions and concepts that you care about. You will have ideas and you will want to share them with your community, and beyond.
