Cardinal Education helps Asian Americans excel in The Taft School admissions process.
The Taft School is a private, coeducational boarding and day school in Watertown, Connecticut, serving students in grades 9 through 12 and postgraduate. With a long-standing tradition of academic excellence, service, and leadership, Taft prepares students to thrive in a rigorous college-preparatory environment while cultivating a deep sense of responsibility to others. The school offers a wide range of academic, athletic, and artistic opportunities, and supports students with mild learning differences through its Academic Support Program, which focuses on executive function coaching, study skills, and time management. With a highly engaged faculty, global study programs, and a vibrant campus culture, Taft encourages students to stretch themselves intellectually while staying grounded in the school’s motto: Not to be served but to serve. The admissions process includes academic records, teacher recommendations, interviews, standardized testing (optional), and learning evaluations when applicable.
