Welcome

At the core of Mr. Taft's mission to educate the whole person lies an emphasis on high scholarship and intellectual endeavor along with a belief that character, above all else, determines success in life.

The Admissions Committee at Taft seeks students who are curious, who will become involved, and who will commit themselves to a high standard of intellectual and personal growth.

Taft's student body is composed of 299 boys and 287 girls. Students come from 34 states and 30 foreign countries. Over 1,500 candidates apply for approximately 160 openings each year. 37% of the student body receives financial aid from a budget of $6.5 million annually. Tuition for the 2010-11 academic year is $43,775 for boarders and $32,500 for day students. Application deadline is January 15.

You are on the brink of fascinating and complex challenges, and nothing will be more important to your future than your commitment to your own growth and education. As you browse our web site and consider Taft for your secondary school years, I wish you well.
