Athletics & Afternoon Program - Private Day School CT

We love the thrill of interscholastic competition. We also value the skills, life lessons, and health benefits of non-competitive teamwork. During your time on the Hilltop, you will get the chance to nuture your higher needs doing both. After all, 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.)

*Participation in training programs is allowed one term per academic year. This requires the student to participate in two core activities and game support duties during the season. Managing as your second core activity is a sixth form privilege.
