Trinity-Pawling School is located on 230 acres overlooking the beautiful Hudson River Valley, just 60 miles north of New York City. Founded in 1907, Trinity-Pawling is an independent Episcopal school that is deeply grounded in its Episcopal tradition and welcomes and affirms all faith traditions in its community. The School offers boarding and day programs serving 300 boys in grades 7-12 and offers a postgraduate program.

The goal of a Trinity-Pawling education is to unlock the potential for greatness that exists in each boy. Inherent in the philosophy of Trinity-Pawling is the belief that, as children of God, we possess certain distinctive gifts and talents given to us by a loving God. The School community reflects this belief and teachers are committed to helping each boy discover their gifts and talents.

With 90% of faculty living on campus, students learn and grow in a close-knit community. Students are guided by teachers who are also their coaches and dorm parents, establishing strong faculty-student collaboration and providing for 24/7 learning. All Saints Chapel is the central meeting place for the Trinity-Pawling community, with worship and service being key components of our transformational learning environment.
