I have had a wonderful time at Taft and cannot believe I will be leaving this summer. I love the caring faculty and staff, top-notch facilities, and the friendly atmosphere around campus. They also serve great food in a beautiful dining hall too (I am a picky eater). The school spirit is strong, and you'd have to be here to believe it. College counseling is also excellent here - I just got accepted to one of my reach schools!

A really superb education. Taft students push themselves academically and artistically. Still, it's a very warm community where kids get to know their teachers well and they are genuinely nice to each other and support each other. And the new dining hall is incredible!

Decades ago private schools could have been accused of being elitist. You had to have money to attend. The student populations were fairly homogeneous. Fortunately that has changed.
The average private school tuition in Litchfield County, CT is $25,851 for elementary schools and $54,279 for high schools (read more about average private school tuition across the country).
