Mission Statement
Choate Rosemary Hall is a highly selective, private college-preparatory boarding school located in Wallingford, Connecticut. Its history, academic influence, and reputation make it one of the leading schools in the United States. It took its present name and coeducational system with the merger in 1971 of two single-sex establishments: The Choate School (founded in 1896 in Wallingford) and Rosemary Hall (founded in 1890 in Wallingford, moved later to Greenwich, Connecticut). At the merger, the Wallingford campus was enlarged with a complex of modernist buildings on its eastern edge to accommodate the girls from Rosemary Hall. Choate is a member of the Eight Schools Association and is also a member of the Ten Schools Admissions Organization. Choate enrolls 650 boarding and 215 day students representing 40 states and 44 countries. 15 percent of students are international and 33 percent identify themselves as persons of color. The average class size is 12 and student-faculty ratio is 6:1.
About This Cause
Two interwoven priorities define the Choate experience: a rigorous academic curriculum and an emphasis on the formation of character in a residential setting that allows for teachers and students to live with, and learn from, each other in important ways. The curriculum inspires students to: ◾Think critically and to communicate clearly ◾Understand various methods of intellectual inquiry and their connections to each other ◾Recognize the interconnections of learning ◾Work independently and in partnership with others ◾Develop a global perspective on cultural, social, political, and environmental issues ◾Appreciate the importance of beauty and grace in their lives ◾Achieve distinction in accordance with their individual interests and talents In these ways, students are prepared to seek knowledge for its own sake and to pursue further study at the finest colleges and universities. The development of character is a responsibility that rests with every member of the community. In classrooms, on playing fields, in residential houses, students grow in confidence and self-esteem, and are instilled with such fundamental values as honesty, integrity, teamwork, generosity, and compassion toward others. Choate also fosters community involvement and service as it prepares students to assume leadership roles in an ever-changing world. As part of its commitment to character formation, the school offers regular community-wide reflections on moral and spiritual issues, as well as exposure to various religious traditions. Choate attracts intellectually gifted and motivated students from diverse backgrounds whose commitment to serious study is enhanced in this personally supportive and academically challenging setting. On a campus that inspires a particular sensitivity to beauty, teachers — who share genuine respect and affection for young people — impart an enthusiasm for life and for learning. Choate is confident that its graduates will go forth from a school that values each of them for their particular talents and enthusiasms; that affirms the importance of personal integrity and a sense of self-worth; that inspires and nourishes joy in learning and love of truth; and that provides the intellectual stimulation to generate independent thought, confident expression, and a commitment to improve the welfare of others.
