The Hotchkiss School
The Hotchkiss School is a private boarding school in Lakeville, Connecticut. The School, founded in 1891, provides an academically distinguished education to 599 students in grades 9 through 12, as well as a limited number of postgraduates. Hotchkiss students come from all around the country and the world. Many of the most prestigious institutions and colleges accept graduates.
The school is well-known for its enormous alumni network and the sheer number of graduates who have gone on to become MPs, senators, and other powerful government officials.
When you join Hotchkiss, you become part of a varied community that includes people from all over the country and the world. A Hotchkiss education is genuinely incomparable, thanks to small class numbers and an environment dedicated to study and personal growth. Students on the growing campus have the unique chance to experience life as teammates, classmates, friends, and community members.
The independent high school academic program provides a breadth and depth of study that most students would not encounter until college, with over 200 courses in seven departments and small class sizes.
The Hotchkiss School students challenge themselves intellectually and establish deep ties with their classmates, guided by knowledgeable, involved educators, whether they're talking about environmental issues, researching global trends, or analyzing literature.
The 13 residence halls offer welcoming environments where all students feel at ease. Even day students who have their rooms can rest, study, socialize, and enjoy boarding school life. Residential faculty members live in each dorm, and proctors — trained upperclassmen who work as dorm leaders — watch for their classmates and contribute to creating a safe, courteous environment.
The size of residence halls ranges from six to 65 rooms, with standard rooms for relaxation and dorm events. Each room has wifi network access and is equipped with a bureau, bed, desk, chair, lamp, phone, trash can, and recycling bin.
While the majority of rooms are singles, many students will have a roommate for at least one year; in fact, it urges that incoming students request roommates to help them expand their circle of acquaintances and establish a feeling of community in a new area.
