Health and Wellness at Rectory

At Rectory, your child’s health, safety, and overall well-being are at the heart of everything we do. We know that students can only thrive academically, socially, and emotionally when they feel healthy, cared for, and supported—and our dedicated health staff ensures just that.

The Morgan Witter Rogers Jr. Memorial Infirmary, a lasting gift from the Rogers family in memory of their son and former Rectory student, has served as a cornerstone of our community since 1946. Centrally located on the upper campus, this 6,750-square-foot facility includes a nursing station, treatment room, kitchen, medication area, waiting room, and six patient rooms (with two that can be closed off for isolation when needed). The Infirmary is fully licensed by the State of Connecticut and staffed by experienced, compassionate medical professionals who provide exceptional care for our students and employees.

Our mission is simple yet vital: to provide comprehensive, responsive health care that keeps students feeling their best and ready to participate fully in all aspects of school life. From everyday illnesses to sports injuries, our team is here to treat, support, and educate. We believe in helping students make informed, responsible choices about their health while nurturing their growing independence.

We also know that for parents, being far from your child when they’re not feeling well can be difficult. That’s why we maintain close communication with families, ensuring that parents remain informed and involved in all decisions related to their child’s care.

At Rectory, health and wellness aren’t just services—they’re part of our community culture. We are committed to providing a safe, nurturing environment where every student feels cared for, every parent feels reassured, and every child can flourish.
