Campus


The school is organized into five "forms," (grades) 2 (eight grade) 
through 6th form ( 12 grade) Students generally enter the school in 
the second or third form. They are housed in small dorms, 
which are each run by (and named after) a faculty member, 
who lives in an apartment attached to the dorm. 

The campus grounds are beautiful, encompassing a river, forest, and meadows. Faculty dogs are often seen roaming the campus.

Students

Students at Groton excel at academics. The school is highly selective. Students are given a great deal of academic work and personal attention in their courses. Most students find that their coursework in college is far easier than that they experienced in high school. Students typically attend highly prestigous universities.

Faculty

Sports, Clubs, and Traditions

The school motto "Qui Servire est Regnare" loosely, to serve is to reign, or to serve him is perfect freedom, emphasizes the school's dedication to public service, and to raising students both intellectually and morally.

The school is a close-knit community. The faculty lives almost entirely on campus. Classes are very small. All students are required to participate in sports or theater. There are regularly scheduled sit-down dinner, where students and faculty dress formally.
