Groton School
Groton School is a private, coeducational boarding school for grades 8-12 students founded in 1884 just outside of Boston, Massachusetts. Groton offers a classical college preparatory program that includes two years of Latin or Greek. It is also listed as one of the best boarding schools in the USA.
The Groton School day begins with chapel services and continues with "check-in," which is when dorm residents shake hands with the teacher on duty. In the last five years, students have matriculated at all of the Ivies, with the highest enrollments at Harvard, Georgetown, Trinity, Bowdoin, and Yale.
The study of historical civilizations will help you better comprehend the world now. STEM approaches interwoven throughout math and science subjects will help you. You will also feed your mind with time-tested essentials like Latin.
Students both learn from and teach one another. It becomes eye-opening when a friend offers an alternative perspective on a late-night talk. Groton School’s dormitories are tiny, with twelve to twenty-four people.
The welcoming, homey environment invites dormmates to get to know and understand one another. Often, a staff member or dorm head may give a portion of food, which Groton calls "a feed." A birthday or an approaching occasion may be celebrated. Sixth Formers are all dorm prefects who oversee dorm check-ins.
Students are not compelled to undertake community service and track hours; rather, all students are expected to participate in community service. All students are required to attend religious services on weekends, but they are free to attend the service that best matches their personal traditions.
