We believe in Groton School because we believe in the Groton difference.

Our mission is to foster a diverse and intimate community, devoted to inspiring lives of character, learning, leadership, and service. Your gift to the Groton School helps us do just that while creating a lasting impact for our students.

Did you know there are creative ways to support Groton School? Ways in which Groton School, you, and your loved ones can all benefit at the same time?

Such giving options are called "planned gifts," because with thoughtful planning, you create win-win solutions for you and for Groton. Whether giving through your will, living trust, qualified retirement plan, or life insurance policy, planning ahead is an expression of commitment through a very special and important form of financial support.
