Who We Are

The Hotchkiss School aims to incorporate environmental stewardship into every aspect of School life, and model what we teach through a combination of formal academic and residential initiatives. By taking this solution-oriented approach to environmental issues, we prepare students to involve themselves conscientiously in our collective ecological future. The School's regenerative practices (such as producing energy and food, restoring ecosystems, building soil, and achieving carbon neutrality) reinforce an environmental mentality characterized by innovation, creativity, and entrepreneurship.
