The school first founded on our site was in 1928, by the Daughters of the Holy Spirit. Over the course of time it morphed into a Catholic High School in the 1950’s and then in 2002 it was taken over and converted into an international boys boarding school, for the purpose of improving intercultural dialogue and the opportunity of accessing the best universities within America and worldwide. Students came from a variety of countries worldwide and from a large number of states within America.
The school changed hands over the summer of 2015, in order to provide an injection of capital investment. A number of renovation projects are ongoing, along with the business of providing high quality prep school education for a small group of students. Hand in hand with the renovation of residential, classroom and sporting facilities, the school will be expanding its pool of students from a wider group. The mission and core values remain the constant theme of the school.
As educators, we value Personal Development – we are dedicated to the personal development of our students. From the dorm to academic life, we strive to honor the uniqueness of each individual and embrace diverse backgrounds. We prepare students for lives in a multicultural society by developing a strong, inclusive community during their day, after school and on the weekends. Service – we promote the active engagement of our students in the local and global community so that they become contributing members of society. Academics – we provide our students with a challenging, well-rounded education that includes the arts, humanities, mathematics, the sciences and technology that will prepare them for college.
Putnam Science Academy strives to develop young adults, locally and from around the world, who are committed to academic excellence and are engaged citizens.
Our goal is to provide a challenging educational program to prepare all students for acceptance into the top universities in the United States and across the world.
Putnam Science Academy seeks qualified candidates to teach, motivate, mentor and guide our students. You must have the heart, knowledge, skills, and ability to enhance the student experience on our campus. We employ creative, resourceful, confident, and open minded individuals.
As a co-educational private boarding and day school we seek candidates who have a genuine appreciation of being a part of a diverse population who enjoy educating young adults.
