CAMP PROGRAM INFO: The Putney School Summer Arts offer students age 14-17 the opportunity for in-depth exploration in the visual arts, performing arts, and creative writing, as well as sustainability through our Farm Program. Our ESOL- Program for International Education for non-native English speakers offers English-language classes and accelerated learning through language immersion. We enroll 135 students in each 3-week session. Workshops form the core of the day. Students enroll in two half-day workshops—one in the morning, one in the afternoon.
CAMP SCHOLARSHIPS OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE: Aid is awarded based on the financial needs of the family, the commitment of the student, the enrollment needs of the program, and the resources available in the financial aid fund. Generally, families earning more than $70,000 per year are not encouraged to apply for assistance. We award aid whenever possible and gratefully acknowledge organizations and individuals who contribute to our financial aid fund. As financial aid is often limited, we give priority to students who have not received awards in prior years. For financial aid forms and instructions, contact our office. To be considered for aid, students must first submit a complete application for admission, in addition to the financial aid forms.
YEAR-ROUND PROGRAMS: The Putney School is an independent boarding school dedicated to progressive education for a sustainable future. Founded in 1935, the school is situated on a beautiful hilltop in southern Vermont. The school's studios and dormitories on our 500-acre campus, together with our working dairy and vegetable farm, serve over 200 students who enroll in the school's Summer Programs each summer.
