The Hotchkiss School

About The Hotchkiss School

The Hotchkiss School is a co-educational independent boarding and day school in Lakeville, Connecticut. Founded in 1891, Hotchkiss enrolls students in grades 9–12 and a postgraduate year. The rural campus supports a college-preparatory academic programme alongside extensive arts, athletics and outdoor opportunities. Hotchkiss is part of the circle of selective New England boarding schools that feed a wide range of U.S. and international universities.

Admission is competitive. Families should review application deadlines, interview or visit expectations, financial-aid timelines and published boarding versus day fees on hotchkiss.org. Fee schedules change each year, so use official documents for budgeting. Residential life, advising and co-curricular commitments are central to the student experience and should be discussed during campus visits or virtual sessions.

Campus address: 11 Interlaken Road, Lakeville, CT 06039. Main phone: 860-435-2591. Confirm current admissions contacts and open-house calendars on the official site. International applicants should verify documentation, English expectations and travel schedules for breaks. Compare Hotchkiss with peer boarding schools on academic intensity, arts facilities and pastoral support. Start teacher recommendations and testing plans early if required for your cycle. Prospective boarding families should review rural campus expectations, arts and athletics balance, and postgraduate options if relevant. Start financial-aid forms early and confirm travel plans for holiday breaks with the school calendar. Prospective students and families should verify the latest tuition, housing costs, application deadlines, testing policy and financial-aid rules on the institution's official website for the intended entry year. Published third-party summaries can become outdated quickly. Keep academic transcripts, counsellor recommendations and identification documents organised early, and confirm any programme-specific prerequisites before submitting an application. Campus visits or official virtual sessions are useful for understanding teaching style, student support and residential life.
