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.

Every year, Taft admission officers read close to 1,800 applications prepared by bright, talented, and motivated young men and women from across the globe. Each has a unique story to tell, and is eager to leave his or her mark on the Taft community. Competition for the 180 openings is extremely challenging.

Individual acceptance decisions will be delivered through Taft's Admissions Portal on March 9. Those receiving acceptance letters at that time are invited to return to campus with their families on one of the following Admitted Student Days:

Thursday, March 28

Tuesday, April 2

Thursday, April 4

Activities begin at 8:15 am each day. Admitted students should plan to remain on campus until 3:30 pm. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate students who have been placed on our waitlist. More detailed information and event registration instructions will be included in admitted students welcome letters. Questions? Please call the Taft Admissions Office at 860-945-7700.
