The teaching and academics at all of these schools is top notch. With an extremely slight edge, I would say Hotchkiss and Choate are the strongest academically, but it’s a marginal difference. Our experience is that Taft and Loomis have a bit of a more of a jock culture. School spirit is tight at all 5. Some kids like the spread out campus of Choate, others comment it is too much so and prefer more intimate grounds as there is a lot of daily walking distance to cover. All of these schools have beautiful surroundings, and although some are more rural than others, each has a relatively quaint Main Street area nearby campus with good coffee shops, restaurants and pizza parlors, etc. Gotta visit each one if possible and talk to the kids there!
