Acre Campus
Since 2012, 268 acres have been protected as part of the Kohler Environmental Center program
Since the School’s earliest founding on Rosemary Farm in 1890, the Town of Wallingford hasn’t just been an address, it’s been home. Home to the faculty who live and teach here, home to the students who learn and develop here, and to the staff and families who work and grow here.
For over 130 years, the Town of Wallingford and Choate Rosemary Hall have enjoyed a shared history of growth and prosperity.

Uniquely situated within town, on some corners it is unclear where Choate Rosemary Hall ends and Wallingford begins. Since 1890, the seamless integration of the campus into Wallingford Town Center has been a wonderful differentiating feature for our School.

Wallingford residents are welcome to visit our campus. Choate’s track and walking trails are open for community use.
