Financial Aid Application Process

There are many different reasons students choose to enroll in a PG year at Loomis but there is a common theme for students who have the best experiences here. Those students embrace opportunities to continue to grow academically, athletically, and socially in preparation for college. They are intellectually curious and interested in living in a diverse and inclusive community. If you have questions about whether you are a good candidate for this experience, please contact the Admission Office at 860.687.6400 or admission@loomis.org

Postgraduates apply for either diploma or certificate status. To be a candidate for a diploma, the postgraduate student must, in addition to being awarded appropriate credits at admission, satisfy all Loomis Chaffee diploma requirements. To be a certificate candidate, a postgraduate student must pass English each term and earn at least four full credits for the year. Those credits can be earned in a wide variety of courses across all the different disciplines at the school. Most PGs at Loomis elect the certificate option which gives them the most flexibility in course selection.

Yes. Most of our post-graduate students plan to pursue athletics at a very high level after Loomis and preparing for that is a primary reason they choose to do a post-graduate year. If you haven’t yet connected with the coach(es) of the varsity team(s) you are interested in, we encourage you to do so to learn more about our athletics programs.
