Uniquely Choate
Exceptionally You Uniquely Choate
At Choate, your ability to define your true and unique self is fundamental.
Although no one accomplishment or interest will ever fully define who you are as a person, this experience will stick with you for the rest of your life—one of big changes, and impressive transformations.
Our Distinctions
Academic Exploration
Choate provides students with transformative and meaningful experiences that instill lifelong habits of learning, leadership, and service, shaped by innovative and passionate educators.
Just the Right Size
Our School is large enough to support a wide range of academic opportunities and extracurricular offerings, but small enough to support the connections and relationships that help our students thrive.
Authentic Community
Choate cultivates a vibrant community of principled individuals from diverse backgrounds and unites them through common purpose, active engagement, and mutual respect. We value shared experiences and traditions that shape character, build cohesion, generate school spirit, and foster lifelong connections.
Signature Programs

An unmatched array of opportunities to pursue a specific interest in-depth.
Unparalleled Facilities
