Afternoon Program - Private Day School CT

After School

There is more than one kind of team.

We love the thrill of interscholastic competition, but we also value the skills, life lessons, and health benefits of non-competitive teamwork, where groups of students and faculty work collaboratively to achieve common goals. Different ways to spend your time, but the lessons are the same. At Pomfret, friendships are forged, teams are made, and leaders are born in the afternoon.

Independent Project (sixth form only): An Independent Project may be proposed by a sixth former to complement his or her Group Activity requirement. This project provides a sixth former with the time and opportunity to pursue a particular area of skill or interest outside the scope of current Pomfret offerings. These projects are particularly geared for the serious college-bound athlete or artist who can benefit from more time in a particular area of expertise. Only one Independent Project per student per tenure at Pomfret is permitted (applications are available in the Athletic Office.)
Additional training opportunities*
- Introduction to Weight Training (fifth and sixth forms only)
- Advanced Weight Training (fifth and sixth forms only)
- Winter Fitness (fifth and sixth forms only)

*Participation in these training programs requires the student athlete to participate in two core activities and game support duties during the season. Managing as your second core activity is a sixth form privilege.

Third Form

Fourth Form

Fifth Form

Sixth Form

At least one season must include a Core Activity. Participation in the other two seasons may be a Group Activity (all subject to space availability). A sixth former also has the option to propose an Independent Project for one term. A Weight Training and Conditioning program is also available to a sixth former for one term, but that program cannot be done in conjunction with an Independent Project; sixth formers must pick one or the other, but cannot do both.
