Groton School is a private college-preparatory day and boarding school located in Groton, Massachusetts. It is affiliated with the Episcopalian tradition.
The design of St. John's Chapel (1900) reflects the school's low church tendencies. Its architect, a high churchman, proposed adding an ornate reredos like the one he built for St. Paul's School, but Endicott Peabody vetoed it.
The walls of the Schoolroom (the study hall) are covered with wooden tablets bearing the names of every graduate and every member of Phi Beta Kappa.
