Senior House Welcome

The Stanwich School community eagerly anticipates opening Senior House, grades 10-12. The clear mission and strong, innovative academic programs that have driven Stanwich’s steady growth since its inception with grades K-2 in 1998, now have us on the precipice of opening the Senior House, the final piece that will complete our comprehensive Pre-K to 12 school.

The Senior House at Stanwich is an innovative extension of the Primary, Intermediate, and Junior House programs, building upon the character development and the academic preparation that have defined The Stanwich School. The focus on mind, body, spirit guides both our curriculum and our daily lives, and promotes balance in students’ lives. Moving beyond the memorization of facts, our curriculum is designed to inspire students to think deeply and critically, working individually and collaboratively, to make connections between school and personal experiences as well as across disciplines, cultures and time. We maintain high academic standards and expectations to prepare our graduates for college and beyond.

We continue to challenge our students — as they continue to challenge and support each other — to be their best, to help others be their best, and to make God's world a better place, for that truly is the Stanwich Heart.

Most importantly, we do all of the above with a fundamental commitment to pay purposeful attention to the “Stanwich Seven” — commitment, compassion, wisdom, courage, honesty, forgiveness and joy — the core virtues that support our school’s mission. Our Senior House will be a joyful, exciting place in which adolescents grow and mature into confident, competent, thoughtful, inspired and kind young adults.

We welcome you to visit our unique community and experience the Heart of Stanwich personally.
