The Loomis Chaffee School is a private, coeducational boarding school located on a 300-acre campus in Windsor, Connecticut. Founded in 1874 by five siblings who dedicated the institution as a philanthropic gift to children beyond their own families, the school emphasizes an academically rigorous program. It serves students from a wide geographic mix, with attendees from 26 states and 20 countries, preparing them for admission to four-year colleges. The school emphasizes active learning, strong faculty-student relationships, and a civil, respectful community as core features of its educational approach. It is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, which places it within the region’s established framework for secondary education. In May 2026, Loomis Chaffee participated in its Celebration of Excellence, recognizing the achievements of juniors and seniors and highlighting the school’s ongoing emphasis on student achievement.
