Hero Treatment

 

 

Horace Dutton Taft founded our school in 1890 with a simple, yet compelling mission: To shape lives by educating the whole person. Today, Taft students are intellectually curious and socially aware. They are actively involved, dedicated to personal growth and excellence, driven by compassion, and committed to serving others. They are artists, athletes, and global citizens. Our Admissions Committee seeks prospective students who will embrace all that it means to be a Taft student—the rigor, the fun, the commitment, and the reward.  

We hope you visit us, take a tour, meet with an Admissions officer, talk to students, and learn more about Taft. We look forward to seeing you in Watertown!
