Inspiring Students since 1900
Rumsey Hall School in Washington, Connecticut, is a coed
boarding and country day school for boys and girls in kindergarten
through grade nine. Situated in the foothills of northwestern
Connecticut's Berkshire Mountains, Washington (population
4,000) is 43 miles west of Hartford, Connecticut and 80 miles
northeast of New York City. The 147 acre campus is surrounded
by beautiful wooded hills and the scenic Bantam River.
Founded in 1900 by Mrs. Lillias Rumsey Sanford in Seneca
Falls, New York, the school moved to larger quarters in Cornwall,
Connecticut in 1907 and to the present campus in 1949. Thomas
W. Farmen, the school's fifth Headmaster, was appointed in 1985.
Since its inception, the school has retained its original mission:
"To help each child develop to his or her maximum
stature as an individual, as a family member and as a contributing
member of society."
Rumsey Hall prepares its students for the discipline required
in secondary schools and beyond, through small classes, a
tightly-knit dormitory life, a wide range of sports, extracurricular
programs and sound academics.
