Rectory School is a K–9th-grade private school located on 138 acres in Pomfret, Connecticut. Considered a “Junior Boarding School,” Rectory offers 5–day and 7–day boarding programs for students in grades 5–9. At Rectory, understanding your child is our highest priority and our greatest strength. We know not all students learn the same, which is why we surround your child with adults who believe all children can succeed when they are encouraged and given the tools that fit their particular learning style. In all facets of school life, students are encouraged to reach beyond their comfort level, and while this sometimes means they may stumble along the way, it always means that they are building valuable life skills. At Rectory your child will experience more. More choice. More exploration. More engagement. More empowerment. More mentorship. He or she will discover that learning how to learn means taking risks and asking questions that are meaningful to them while always respecting the viewpoints of others. Rectory’s supportive environment enables us to create a personalized learning plan that fits your child.

Imagination and innovation, fostered by the immersion in the arts, spill into the classroom and enhance our students’ academic skill development.

Inspired by inquiry, our Learning Labs are the unofficial help desks of Trinity-Pawling. One of the School’s most distinctive programs is the Effort System, which began nearly 50 years ago. Each boy at Trinity-Pawling is assessed for the effort he devotes to a given endeavor: academics, athletics, dormitory responsibilities, civic engagement, attendance, and extracurricular programs. The learning objective inherent in this ethos of effort is to teach boys that the more they invest of themselves the greater their accomplishments will be. Schedule a visit today!
