The School

• In late 2007, the Wall Street Journal listed Groton School as one of the world's top 50 schools for its success in preparing students to enter top American universities.
• Groton is an intimate community as 90% of students are boarders and most teachers live on campus in dorms or faculty housing. Classes are small, ranging from 12 to 14 students. There are regularly scheduled sit-down dinners during fall term and during spring term; at sit-down dinner, faculty and students dress up formally and sit down for a proper 45 minute dinner and are served by students assigned as waiters.
• Between 2003 and 2007, Groton graduates attended the following nine colleges most frequently (in order): Harvard University, Georgetown University, Brown University, Trinity College, Princeton University, University of Edinburgh, Yale University, Vanderbilt University, and Tufts University.

Admission

• Please contact the Admission Office directly by email, by post or visit the School website for latest information.

Boarding Houses

• Dorms are comfortable and cozy. More than 70 dormitory heads and affiliates are there not only to supervise, but to guide and support.
• Since the earliest days of the School, Groton has ended its day with handshaking. The Rector and Mrs. Peabody began the tradition as they said good night to each student.
• Now, over 100 years later, the day at Groton ends in much the same way, with each student shaking the hand of his or her dorm head. The tradition builds a sense of community, just as it did more than a century ago. There are now 17 dormitories; handshaking happens in every one, every night.
• Second and third form students live with members of their own form; all dorms are separated by gender. Lower School dormitories feature a special layout, which provides each student with an individual bedroom, separated from his or her cube-mate's bedroom by a study. Cubes have only partial walls and open onto a common area, providing students with privacy while fostering close relationships with other members of the form.
