“I chose Loomis because I felt that it had the perfect mix of academic rigor and rich student life.”
This year, over 200 students have volunteered to be Tour Guides for Loomis Chaffee – almost half of all students in grades 10-12 – including ten Head Tour Guides, traditionally one of the most highly respected leadership positions on campus. This number is a huge testament to the love our Pelicans have for their school and to their enthusiasm for sharing it with prospective families. While your virtual visit will not include all 200+ tour guides, the following searchable database is available to you to learn more about our tour guides, their interests, and why they love Pelican Nation. More tour guides are being added each day. Enjoy!
