From The Williams School

The Williams School is an independent, college preparatory, day school on the campus of Connecticut College. Guided by our core values of Scholarship, Character, and Community, our students experience small classes and individual attention. Focusing on each individual student, they are supported by caring faculty and an advisor who help them navigate their academic choices, social life, and more. In the Middle School students learn how to learn, and in the Upper School students gain a competitive edge when applying to college and in preparation for their future careers. After Williams, alumni go on to four-year colleges and universities and stay engaged with the school through community-building and networking opportunities. The Williams Community- from students, to parents, and alumni, is tight-knit and inclusive. Williams is a special place where people come together to learn, grow, and thrive.
