The school was originally an all female institution called Prout Memorial High School. The campus was built on a 212acre property adjacent to nearby Wakefield (South Kingstown). In 1981, the school became a diocesan high school, and in 1986 it became a co-educational institution and was renamed the Prout School. In 1992, following the 25th anniversary of the school, Prout became the third United States school to become a member of the International Baccalaureate Organization. The school gained local media attention in 2014 after principal David Carradini invited local priest Francis J. Hoffman, "Father Rocky", to speak at a school assembly. Many students were offended at Hoffman's comments on issues such as divorce and homosexuality. Carradini resigned after the 2014-2015 school year after refusing to resign immediately after the controversial assembly.
