@sadieshadow - I love The Gunnery and Litchfield County! Just think… after you drop him off after a weekend or vacation… you can pick up a coffee at Marty’s and wander around the Green… maybe pick up a delicious cookie at The Pantry for the ride home… or head over to New Preston and walk around the beautiful village followed by a drive around beautiful Lake Waramaug… ( where the original Friday the 13th was filmed - spooky, right ? ) Gunnery is also the host for the Founders Day Regatta… which is held in May- talk about a fun-filled action packed day surrounded by unsurpassed beauty. … Good times.

I’m actually dying right now and want a do over… ( @ChoatieMom- Help me. )

It’s God’s Country Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall. Don’t feel sad! Life as a Litchfield County BS parent has a lot of perks! Plus- you’re an hour and a half away! That’s awesome!! Subscribe to the local paper and look for groovy things ( book signings at Hickory Stick Bookshop, fairs, Art Shows, etc. ) to do with or without your child and embrace the area!

I’m totally jealous right now.

The Gunnery doesn’t get much airtime here… but it should. It’s a fantastic school. Your child will receive a fabulous education there and he’ll be surrounded by beauty and amazing people- everyday. It’s a very special place.

All the best to you and your son… an amazing future awaits if you choose this school.

PS - Have you looked at any JBSs? ( I know- you’re sad about him leaving in 2 years and I’m suggesting right now… but ! ) Rumsey Hall and Indian Mountain are in the area and both are excellent. That is- if you want to go that route before SS. Just a suggestion if JBS wasn’t on your radar. Good luck
