About
More than a century has passed since Mr. Taft founded our school. While the world and the school have changed dramatically, his fundamental values endure: work hard, without regard for public acclaim; develop all your talents: academic, artistic, and athletic; and most importantly, give of yourself to others.
Admission
“Our Admissions Committee seeks prospective students who will, in equal measure, embrace all that it means to be a Taft student—the rigors, the fun, the commitments, and the rewards."Peter Frew '75, Director of Admission
Academics
Our students develop the skills, knowledge, and habits of mind to be lifelong learners, critical thinkers, and responsible global citizens.
Arts
Success in the Arts is bred of self-confidence; a fearlessness or joy in the process, more than the outcome. Taft School Portrait of an Arts Graduate
Athletics
In building one of the most successful athletic programs in New England, Taft coaches promote fair play, respect for opponents, a love of the game, competitive spirit, and team loyalty.
Campus Life
Taft is a school with heart. Our sense of community is strong, and extends to every aspect of campus life.
Giving
Taft has been built, brick by brick, through the collective generosity of generations of alumni, parents, families, and friends.
Living Our Motto
Not to be served but to serve is more than our motto, it is the underlying principle that shapes our perspectives and guides our actions every day.

Upper Mid Parent Program

October 16, 2023

Greetings Parents/Guardians of Upper Mids,

You are cordially invited to join us for a virtual program about the college process on Sunday, November 12th at 9 a.m. EDT.

The program will include:

An introduction to the process at Taft
A keynote address from Jay Jacobs, Vice Provost for Enrollment Management at the University of Vermont
A mock application review exercise with admissions representatives from around the country

We are hopeful that the virtual platform will allow the program to be more accessible to all, but recognize that timing can still be an issue. We will record as much of the program as we can and will share it afterwards.

This program is geared towards parents and guardians; however, students are welcome to attend. Much of the information we will share with you, will be disseminated to them in other settings.

To register for this program, please use the following link: 2023 Upper Mid Program Registration Form

We will send the Zoom link to the confirmed registrants a few days before the event.

Take care,
Alison
