Taking inspiration from our motto, Proctor Academy creates a diverse learning and living community: one that values the individual and recognizes the potential of each member to stretch beyond what had been thought possible.

Balancing academic rigor, structure, and support with the freedom for students to explore, create and define themselves, Proctor encourages students to achieve their optimal growth. A deep commitment to an integrated academic support program and an emphasis on experiential learning is interwoven throughout Proctor’s academic, athletic, artistic, and environmentally conscious programs both on and off campus.

Relationships that form theFoundation for Learning

We believe students are most successful when they feel seen, known, and deeply connected to their school community. The strength of Proctor’s community comes from the depth of relationships formed between students and faculty. Teachers are advisors, coaches, and dorm parents, living alongside students and working with them throughout all areas of their life.

Proctor Academy Fall Highlights

Today, we step away for a well earned break. As we reflect on the beautiful chaos of the last three months, may we remember that it is only through experiencing all of our emotions that we truly reap the benefits of living in community with each other. 

Native American Program: We Are All Related

For over half a century, Proctor has woven Native American perspectives into its educational mission, and this tradition continued with a visit from CheeNulKa Pocknett, who shared the Wampanoag community's story of resilience, environmental stewardship, and cultural adaptation.

Patrick Moore Scholarship

Certain students enter our lives and change us - as individuals, as educators, as peers, as a community. Patrick Moore ‘25 was one of those students. From the moment he joined the Proctor community as a ninth grader, he changed the trajectory of every life his path crossed. When we received news of Patrick’s passing in late August after a tragic accident, we were shaken to the core as a community. 

Academic Lens: Modeling Civil Discourse

In an era of dissatisfaction with the democratic process and polarization, educators face the dual challenge of fostering meaningful political discourse and engaging students in democratic processes. The diverse makeup of boarding school communities provides a unique environment for practicing respectful discussion across differences.

The Off-CampusExperience

Proximate learning does not occur without risk, but it is in those moments where students are living their education alongside the issues they are studying that lives are transformed.

The Off-Campus Experience

Living at aBoarding School

Proctor has intentionally built a residential community filled with small, family-style dormitories that place the student and adult relationship at the center of the boarding experience.

Residential Life at Proctor

Afternoon Program and Athletics

Every student engages in Proctor’s athletic and activity program each afternoon because we believe it is through shared, team experiences that we have the opportunity to put our core values into action.

Stewarding aSense of Place

We don’t just teach environmental stewardship at Proctor, we live it. Situated on 2,500 acres of woodlands, our campus and the trails, lakes, ponds, and adventures that lie within, connect us to the natural world that sustains us.

Environmental Stewardship in Action

Proctor Academy Woodlands

As these beautiful fall days transition to full blown stick season, and then winter, our goal is to continue to immerse ourselves and our students in the healing, inspiring, energizing surroundings of the woodlands. 

Proctor Academy Wilderness Orientation 2024

Wilderness Orientation is hard. It challenges even the most experienced, rugged individuals because it asks us to live in close community with each other, to embrace our flaws, to appreciate our strengths, and to understand that any living community will have its natural ebbs and flows of energy and emotions. 

Proctor Academy Earth Day

We have never been more connected to each other (digitally), yet we have never been more disconnected from the world around us which is why celebrating Earth Day the Proctor way always comes as an exhausting, refreshing change of pace.
