Senior

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.

Junior

My favorite class this term is actually calculus, which is strange because I’ve never loved math, ever. But I’m really understanding everything, and my classmates are super funny and collaborative.

Putney really allows you to come up with your own ideas. You’re not going to be judged. It’s like you’re free.

That’s something that I really appreciate about boarding schools like this, because we have international students and people that come from all different places.

Corinne
Senior

At Putney it’s normal to be so multi-faceted. I really love the people, and how tight knit we are. I’ve learned that self advocacy is a real thing.
