Balancing academic rigor, structure, and support with the freedom for students to explore, create and define themselves, Proctor encourages students to achieve their optimal growth. A deep commitment to an integrated academic support program and an emphasis on experiential learning is interwoven throughout Proctor’s academic, athletic, artistic, and environmentally conscious programs both on and off campus. intro-stats 380 Total Students 1848 Year Founded 2,500 Acre Rural Campus 140+ Academic Courses Relationships that form the Foundation for Learning We believe students are most successful when they feel seen, known, and deeply connected to their school community.

The Arc of Adolescence: Partnering with Families Our capacity to simultaneously experience conflicting emotions as parents - we can be both nervous and excited about our children’s independence, we can mourn the end of one stage of life, and look with unprecedented anticipation at what lies ahead - allows us to see the full arc of adolescence. The Pursuit of (Un)Happiness The path to happiness is not rooted in more happiness, but in productive struggle. We must communicate to our children that we are not in a pursuit of happiness, but a pursuit of balance, of experiencing joy and sorrow, despair and hope, productivity and apathy, happiness and unhappiness. The Eclipse, Moments of Pause, and the Dopamine War We are ready to embrace our role as a school in developing an intentional, reasonable, long-arching strategy to help educate, shield, and protect our students from believing the best of this world lives behind a screen. Managing Expectations, Perceptions, and Embracing "What Is" When we allow ourselves to become immersed in our own lives, focusing on personal needs, our own frustrations, our own inconveniences, we slip into the unfortunate habit of asking what if” questions rather than embracing what is”. paging community-stats 4:1 Student: Faculty Ratio 5 Average Students in an Advisory Group 21 Small, Family Style Dormitories 10+ Adults Directly Connected to Each Student custom class: pinned-slider Slides Expand Your Identity From the first moment a student steps foot on campus until the moment they walk across the stage at graduation, experiential learning, challenge, and support permeate every layer of a student’s academic journey. Academics at Proctor The Off-Campus Experience Proximate learning does not occur without risk, but it is in those moments where students are living their education alongside the issues they are studying that lives are transformed.

The Journey: Powering Down for More All over the Proctor proper, students are taking a different kind of road less traveled as they gently springboard back into themselves and into the final stretch of the 2023-2024 school year. Mountain Classroom: The Adventure Begins From snow to rain and cold, the Mountain Classroom group has been up to a flurry of eventful activities. Starting in the farmlands of Huntington, Vermont, the group stayed in a very pretty heated barn allowing us to settle into the frontcountry, and start our work with Penny Huett, our black ash basket instructor. paging place-stats 2,500 Acre Campus 47 Miles of Trails on Campus 480,000+ kWh of Solar Produced on Campus 1 Weekly Polar Swim in Elbow Pond Live to Learn.
