Student Life

Students live intensely at Loomis Chaffee. From breakfast in the dining hall to late nights in the dormitories, they partake of the school's rich assortment of opportunities and experiences. While there is no mold into which every student is expected to fit, there is a shared desire to achieve at the highest level.

Weekdays are packed with events. The class day begins at 8:10 in each of the academic year's three terms. Afternoons and evenings find students at athletic practices or club meetings, doing homework, library study sessions, meetings with advisers and teachers. Classes are held every other Saturday morning and athletic contests highlight Saturday afternoons. Throughout their days at Loomis, students form strong friendships with classmates and teachers. The days are so full that students barely have time to notice their growing maturity.

The school is dedicated to cultivating independent minds in a challenging intellectual environment. Excellence is a way of life for Loomis students, from their accomplishments and those of their peers to the knowledge and commitment of the faculty.
