Academics
Learning will be different at Groton.
The average class has eleven students, and each of your classmates will be as bright and curious as you are. You’ll get to know your teachers—in the classroom, in the dorm, and on the athletic fields—and they will get to know you, too. With the encouragement of these dedicated teachers and peers, you’ll be challenged to learn broadly and deeply, to analyze critically and ask probing questions. At Groton, you will learn to think.
Curriculum
With a Groton education, you will think critically, speak and write clearly, reason quantitatively, and learn to understand the experiences of others.
Global Education
Global awareness matters more than ever. Groton's mission is to educate students to become caring, ethical, and knowledgeable citizens of the world.
The McCormick Library
The library collections for student and faculty research are extensive. Over 35,000 print books are available to borrow from our open stacks, and our digital collections of eBooks and scholarly articles provide students with university-grade resources. When taking a break, students can relax with friends in front of the library's fireplace and enjoy the newspapers, magazines, and contemporary fiction and non-fiction offerings.
