Miss Hall’s School
Overview
Founded in 1898 — the first girls’ boarding school in Massachusetts — Miss Hall’s School is recognized internationally for its experiential leadership curriculum, service and internship programs, and inclusive global community. Miss Hall’s is committed to its mission of inspiring and encouraging each girl to pursue the highest standards of learning and character; to contribute boldly and creatively to the common good; and to seek a purposeful life based on honor, respect, growth, and personal authenticity. Guided by this mission and sharpened by daily practice, Miss Hall’s continuously reimagines girl-centered education to foster a pioneering intellectual spirit and authentic engagement among students and adults.

Academics
Summary: Our program intentionally builds the intellect, skills, and mindset that empower young women to contribute boldly and creatively to an evolving global society, while preparing them to pursue higher levels of education and lifelong learning. Miss Hall's has moved beyond the College Board's AP curriculum in order to align more closely with our mission and strategic priorities. We have designed "Hallmark" courses to allow for more personalized, in-depth, and sustained inquiry at the highest level available in our school. Hallmark classes provide in-depth, demanding coursework that serves students who are seeking to examine and understand a subject above and beyond our standard college preparatory curriculum. Students can challenge themselves with our most personalized and rigorous course offerings in each subject. Most Hallmark courses culminate in a creative, public presentation of learning. Hallmark courses foster intellectual curiosity and allow our students to engage with the world through critical discourse as well as provide opportunities for deep investigation and thematic study.
