History

The school was chartered in 1874 as The Loomis Institute by five Loomis siblings.[4] The original 1640 Loomis Homestead was chosen as the site for the school, which opened in 1914.[5] The forty-year gap between chartering and the opening of the school was due to the estate of the Loomis siblings being reserved for the siblings' retirement.[6]

In 1910, John Mason Loomis's widow left over $1.1 million as an endowment to The Loomis Institute for charitable purposes.[7] This donation allowed the school to remain tuition-free for its first four decades. In addition to being tuition-free, The Loomis Institute was distinguished from other New England preparatory schools by its lack of religious affiliation, offering of vocational education alongside college preparatory courses, and admission of both boys and girls.[8]

The Loomis Institute ended coeducation in 1926 when The Chaffee School was incorporated to educate girls on an adjacent campus. In 1970, the boys and girls schools merged to form The Loomis Chaffee School.[8] Since then, the school has expanded as its endowment, financial aid budget, faculty, and campus increased in size.[4] Loomis had an acceptance rate of 17% for the 2022–2023 school year.[9]
