I am a current Lower-Mid at Hotchkiss and appreciate every day I get to spend at this amazing school. The teachers here are outstanding and bring refreshing perspectives to current events while explaining the required material. The athletics show you how to stay healthy and you also compete against some of the hardest teams in the nation. There are also many clubs at Hotchkiss, covering many different cultures, religions, and passions. I feel as if I am getting ahead of my peers at other schools, and Hotchkiss is preparing me for life outside of rural Connecticut.
I am currently loving my time at Hotchkiss. I was not fully prepared for the boarding school experience when I arrived, as it took some time to fully assimilate to the lifestyle. My teachers were great at helping ease the transition to prep year, and I have grown immensely as a student, person, time-manager, and decision maker during my time here. As soon as one fully commits to the experience, the community seems to open itself up, and relationships with kids from all different walks of life form. Hotchkiss only becomes better as I discover the limitless opportunities that are available.
I was from a modest background when I was accepted then attended Hotchkiss. I immediately fit it and felt no judgment from other students or faculty.
My horizons were broadened, my education was amazing, I found I could strive for goals I never thought possible from my background.
I applied and was accepted to MIT and Standford. I was very well prepared relative to my peers.
Many of my best friends and memories are from my days at Hotchkiss, even now, several years out of university.
I could not have imagined myself at one of the larger boarding schools in the Northeast. Hotchkiss was a good size, where I knew almost everyone and they knew me. I was able to participate in any activity, such as theater, whereas other schools, it would have been a battle to get a bit part.
I'm grateful every day for the opportunity that Hotchkiss presented me.
