Discover Your Place at The Hotchkiss School
Our Connecticut boarding school campus allows students to explore an idyllic intersection between nature and community. Surrounded by beautiful greenery and the fresh air of the Northeast, Hotchkiss encourages students to cultivate a healthy love of the outdoors. Our Fairfield Farm gives students a space to explore, hike, and farm food for the school. Students can also embrace the great outdoors right on our doorstep with the walking trails and freshwater lake located around campus.
The heart of our campus isn't the state-of-the-art athletic facilities, our renowned academic buildings, or even our signature landmarks. While we're proud to be a boarding school with top facilities, the true epicenter of our community lies in our dormitory buildings. Thirteen on-campus residence halls create a homelike atmosphere for students to rest, socialize, and study as they create a home away from home.
