Schools Offering Rowing

The Derryfield School, Manchester, NH

"Derryfield School Crew's schedule now regularly includes the New Hampshire Championships, the North East Regionals, the New England Interscholastic Rowing Association Championship Regatta, the Head of the Charles, and dual races with some of the most prominent secondary schools in the northeast."

Dexter School, Brookline, MA

"To paraphrase an old automobile commercial, Dexter is not your father's elementary school anymore. Today, Dexter is your son's K-12 school. It is a school that for over 80 years has been preparing boys to meet the challenges of their world with strong minds and bodies and a firm ethical foundation. That mission has not changed. The grade levels offered have evolved, but the principles and values taught, honored, and lived daily at Dexter remain remarkably the same for all students, no matter their age."

Greenwich Academy, Greenwich, CT

"GA girls are bright, earnest, kind and eager to learn. Since 1827, generations of girls have contributed their unique and diverse stories to our community. While traditions like Ingathering and Charter Day bring us together and foster a sense of belonging, the warm and inclusive atmosphere of our school is derived from our deep appreciation of what each individual gives to the GA family. Together, we put forth our best efforts in academics, the arts, athletics and community service. The pursuit of excellence is a natural process for GA girls, who remain ever mindful of our motto - Ad ingenium faciendum, 'Toward the building of character.'"

The Gunnery, Washington, CT

"Over the last several years, The Gunnery has emerged as a recognized rowing power, finishing in the top six or better at the NEIRAs, winning the high school division at the prestigious Head of the Charles regatta eight times in the last ten years, and winning the New England Championships in 2004. We have had a number of rowers compete on the US Junior and Senior National Teams and many have forged careers in Division I rowing."

Hyde Schools, Bath, ME

"The school began with a focus on Five Words: Courage, Integrity, Leadership, Curiosity, and Concern, and the cardinal principle that every individual was born with a unique potential that defines a destiny."

Lincoln School, Providence, RI

"Lincoln School prides itself as a place that actively promotes respect for each individual. Our students come from a broad range of cultural, racial, religious, economic, and educational backgrounds. Diversity is central to the mission of the school and reflects the Quaker tenets of equality, peace, and community. Our diversity is an essential part of our students' education and fosters an involvement in the world beyond Lincoln. It also enables us to think about differing world views, a variety of ideas, and unimagined approaches to problem solving."

Middlesex School, Concord, MA

"A founding member of the sixteen-school Independent School League, Middlesex boasts a winning tradition all across the ISL. Athletes at Middlesex are noted for their commitment to the ideals of teamwork, leadership and fair play. Because we number among the smaller schools in the league, Middlesex counts on the enthusiastic participation of its students and their ability to function as a team. Typically at Middlesex, younger athletes can hope to rise quickly to varsity teams. The athletic experience helps to build community and confidence on campus."

Miss Porter's School, Farmington, CT

"We began with a single borrowed eight in the spring of 1994, under Brad Choyt. The next year money was given and raised, from Ancients and spouses, by Clint Allen to provide for new Vespoli shells, oars, launches, engines, and a dock. Brian Ford took over as head coach, with Brad Choyt coaching the third and fourth boats. That year we entered the New Englands at all four levels; three of the four boats qualified for the Grand Final an unprecedented arrival on the New England scene. The next year we were third at the championships; since then, we have finished no lower than fourth in New England, and usually first or second, with almost every boat in the Grand Final every year."
