Changes: Chilton Preparatory School

Revision as of 11:41, 4 June 2011

Chilton Preparatory School is a co-educational prep school catering for students from kindergarten to senior level that Rory attends from Season 1 through Season 3. It is located in Hartford and is a prestigious school to attend, Rory gaining attendance there in the middle of her sophomore year. Its school colors are blue and white(silver), and the students attending Chilton are required to wear a uniform. For girls the uniform consists of blue and white kilt, blue blouse, navy blue tie and any combination of a sweater vest (blue or gray), sweater(blue) and blue blazer. Boys attending Chilton wear pale khaki pants, blue dress shirt and ties, and a blue blazer.

It has a student paper, The Franklin, of which both Paris and Rory write for during their time at Chilton. Paris was the editor in her Junior year, when Rory was on the staff.

The Student council is made up of a President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, as well as student class presidents from the Senior, Junior and Sophomore levels. In their Senior year, Paris was the Student Body President and Rory was the Vice-President, leading to reformations in regards to the Library and Hem Lines.

Chilton is highly competitive, and, as Headmaster Charleston once put it, while failure is a part of life, it is not a part of Chilton. Most students attending Chilton end up at an Ivy league school.

The Chilton parents are expected to be highly involved in activities at Chilton, participating in things such as bake sales and fund-raising, through associations such as the Booster club. These clubs also have faculty representation.

Notable characters to arise from Chilton include Paris' friends Madeline and Louise who both attended for a long time, and played active roles in The Franklin and Student Government, but were often too preoccupied with boys to study. Tristan was the main love interest at Chilton, but was expelled during his Junior year after a number of indiscretions.

Max Medina, Rory's English Lit teacher played a major role in both her success at Chilton and as one of Lorelai's fiance's whom she met at a parent teacher day at Chilton.

Rory also hosts a student from Chilton in her sophomore year at Yale
