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 306 boys and 271 girls. Students come from 35 states and 28 foreign countries. Nearly 1,400 candidates apply for approximately 165 openings each year. One third of the student body receives financial aid from a budget of $5.6 million annually. Tuition for the 2008-09 academic year is $41,300 for boarders and $30,700 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.
