The Putney School is like no place I have ever been before. The atmosphere is loving and supportive. The school grows most of its vegetables, and produces its own milk and dairy products. Vegetarian and vegan meals are available at all meals, and special diets are accommodated on request. The Farm The Putney School farm produces much of the food we eat during the summer months.
Students have the opportunity to work with animals and to help with farm chores.
Students in workshops also use the farm as a resource and an inspiration. All campus trips to state parks, movies, and local attractions are offered every Wednesday and each weekend. Day and overnight hiking, canoeing, and camping trips take place the second weekend of each session. Sunday evenings are a time for the community to enjoy a concert or presentation in the arts. Three afternoons a week the entire school community meets for an assembly of planning and presentations.
