We are a community of almost 200 students and 70 adults. In recent years we have had students from Japan, Korea, Norway, France, Germany, Spain, Mexico, Brazil, Senegal, Argentina, Tibet, Canada, and the West Indies. Putney s program is a rich one. Putney students learn how to do many different types of art. You can study music, play sports, and enjoy nature and our working farm here in beautiful, rural, southern Vermont.
Students live in small family-style dormitories, usually with one roommate.
Teachers and students eat together in the dining hall, and some of the milk, eggs, meat, and vegetables we eat at Putney comes from our farm. Our school year begins in early September and ends with graduation day in early June. Many international students spend these vacations at the homes of American friends, or with one of our homestay families. We will help you find a nice place to stay during these vacations. International students can come to Putney for one, two, three or four years of high school.
