Groton School is a coeducational private Episcopal boarding special program emphasis traditional school for students in grades 8 through 12.
"Founded in 1884 by Rev. Endicott Peabody, Groton's original aims included the intellectual, moral and physical development of its students in grades seven through twelve towards preparation for both college and 'the active work of life.' Now a coeducational, primarily residential school of 174 girls and 182 boys in grades eight through twelve, we set for our students the highest standards of academic achievement, intellectual growth, ethical awareness and behavior, sportsmanship, athletic endeavor and service to others..." Groton comprises what seem like contradictions. It’s a small school with the resources and programs of a much larger one. School traditions reserve time for sharing modern ideas and diverse personal relationships. An emphasis on developing character, intellect, and leadership encourages the risk-taking that assures student self-discovery. A serene, rural campus provides the location for a lively, fast-paced, and rewarding education. Our students' personal growth, scholarship, athleticism, and artistic talent are nurtured carefully. Annually, 35% of the students receive $4 million in need-based aid.
I would recommend Groton because it will give you the skills you need to achieve in college. The faculty is fantastic and there are lots of resources. They also have a ton of global education opportunities and chances to try ...
The student should be focused, self-confident and determined. It is a school full of Type-A kids who are competitive but friendly and supportive.
