Founded in 1935 by a disciple of John Dewey, the Putney School makes manifest in the daily lives of students one of Dewey's most potent ideas: people learn best what they do. There is a lot of "doing" in the schedule of a Putney student, who is both encouraged to become an independent thinker and required to participate in all areas of school life.
