Pawling, New York, USA All Boys, Episcopal
At Trinity-Pawling, we believe that learning happens best when it happens in community. We have created a safe, adaptable environment and reopening plan that allows our students to be on campus in measures that are compatible with the health and safety demands associated with COVID-19.
The goal of a Trinity-Pawling education is to unlock the potential for greatness that exists in each boy. The School pursues this goal through a vigorous learning environment that emphasizes 21st-century skills such as innovation, creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking. A commitment to project-based and experiential learning acknowledges the research that has been proven to be successful for boys. An authentic camaraderie of “brotherhood” and a "family" of educators and students are dedicated to building a culture of honor. The Trinity-Pawling learning experience combines a timeless commitment to character with a dedication to prepare young men for an ever-changing world. One of the School’s most distinctive attributes is its signatory Effort System, which began 50 years ago. Each boy at Trinity-Pawling is recognized and assessed for the effort he devotes to a given endeavor: academics, athletics, dormitory responsibilities, civic engagement, attendance, and extracurricular programs. The learning objective inherent in this ethos of effort is to teach young men that the more they invest in themselves the greater their achievements will be.
Trinity-Pawling offers over 100 academic courses and 16 AP courses, interscholastic competition in 12 sports within the highly competitive New England Founders League, and a myriad of extracurricular activities.

Summary: Trinity-Pawling is a boys' school not because single sex education is our mission, but because single sex education helps us accomplish our mission. We want to provide an environment where boys are encouraged to push themselves and explore their gifts and talents in all phases of life on campus, free from the pressures and distractions that are unavoidable in the context of a coed school.A few years ago, this approach to teaching was controversial. No longer. Today, expert after expert is acknowledging the fact that America's school culture puts boys at a disadvantage. Today, a growing chorus praises the unique opportunities boys' schools provide.
