Welcome to

GET READY TO TAKE ON THE WORLD.

The Taft School opened its doors in 1890 with a broad yet singular mission: to educate the whole student. What does that mean today? A Taft education begins with rigorous academics, but it is so much more. Learning takes place in almost every corner of our campus, and through nearly every interaction—in the classroom, in community gatherings, on the playing field, and one-on-one with students and faculty who have come to Taft from 60 countries across the globe. A Taft education is built on intellectual curiosity, inclusivity, compassion, respect, and integrity. Our students are engaged and resourceful; they leave us with a sense of self, a sense of place, and a readiness to take on the world.
