The school first founded on our site was in 1928 by the Daughters of the Holy Spirit. Over time it morphed into a Catholic High School in the 1950s. In 2002 it was taken over and converted into an international boys boarding school to improve intercultural dialogue and the opportunity to access the best universities within America and worldwide. Students came from a variety of countries worldwide and from a large number of states within America. Putnam Science Academy is nestled in the quiet corner of Northeast Connecticut. It is located just over one hour from Boston, Massachusetts, and less than an hour from Providence, Rhode Island and Hartford, Connecticut. Our school and campus continue to expand annually. Most recently, we purchased a grand palatial estate that overlooks the Quinebaug River. This building has been transformed into our new Liberal Arts Center and boy's dormitory. It is also where our offices are primarily located. The original school building and girl's dormitory is now our STEM Center where all classrooms for math, science, technology, robotics, and programming are based. This is truly an exciting time for all of us at Putnam Science Academy. Putnam Science Academy strives to develop young adults, locally and worldwide, who are committed to academic excellence and are engaged citizens. Our goal is to provide a challenging educational program to prepare all students for acceptance into the top universities in the United States and worldwide.
