For the chapel, commissioned by Edward Clark in 1907, Flagg chose Norman architecture as an appropriate model and emulated the rich textures of the unpolished stone-work characteristic of that style.

They suggested the school's coat of arms should be that of their family: Argent, a fess sable (black) between three lions' heads erased gules (red).

"[8] Hochschild's perspective may have been accurate in the 1950s, but the school gradually attracted a significantly more diverse student body.

In the 2023-24 school year, for example, Pomfret awarded $5 million in financial aid to 37% of the student body.

[11] A number of Pomfret's buildings and houses are listed in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).

[12][13] Dedicated on St. George's Day, 1908, and consecrated on May 16, 1909,[14] the chapel was designed by Ernest Flagg[15] and houses three extraordinary stained glass windows from 13th century France.

The Pomfret Grifftones and Chorus give concerts in the United States and overseas; in 2015 they performed in Florence, Lucca, and St. Stephen's School in Rome.

[29][30] An investigation conducted by the Connecticut State Police into the allegations was closed with no criminal charges being filed.
