Hotchkiss School
The Hotchkiss School is a private college-preparatory day and boarding school in Lakeville, Connecticut. Founded in 1891, it was one of the first English-style boarding schools in the United States and an early proponent of student financial aid, having accepted scholarship students since its inception. A traditional feeder school to Yale University, in the 1930s "more students came to New Haven from Hotchkiss than from the combined public school systems of New York, Boston, and Philadelphia."
