Groton combines the expansive resources of larger schools with the close-knit feel of an extended family. We know each other well. Students and teachers from a wide array of backgrounds, interests, and considerable talents share a common commitment of one to another and of each to the whole. You cannot help but learn about yourself and the wider world through friendships built at Groton School.

What is Groton all about?
Tuition cost containment
Thank you for your interest in Groton!
Groton School is an intentionally small school that provides enormous opportunities. On our tight-knit campus, each person is known and valued, and everyone contributes to shaping our uniquely wonderful community of peers and mentors. This commitment to an inclusive community is bolstered by Groton's leadership in tuition cost containment, generous financial aid, and free tuition for families earning less than $150,000 per year.
Throughout this website, you will find information and resources that we hope will help you learn about our community and provide a sense of what life is like on the Circle. The admission section of the website includes specific information to guide you through the admission process, and we encourage you to contact us with any questions.
Having been friends and colleagues in the Admission Office for many years, we are looking forward to co-leading the office for the 2026–27 school year as the acting deans of admission. Groton's next permanent dean of admission will start in the summer of 2027.
We look forward to seeing you on the Circle!
James Funnell and Cort Pomeroy
