Academics

Because we educate and value the whole child, Hathaway Brown fosters an environment where every student can thrive, grounded in our unwavering faith in the unbounded capabilities of girls and women. Here, students are fully supported by mentors, teachers, and peers to use their voices, take risks, gain leadership skills, expand their horizons, and pursue ambitious goals.

From early childhood to 12th grade, a Hathaway Brown education empowers students to become the visionary leaders and changemakers the world needs. This is where they explore their interests, refine their strengths, and grow into the full breadth of their abilities. Here, in state-of-the-art classrooms and guided by passionate and innovative educators, our students focus on learning as the key to a life that’s full of possibility.

When you join HB, you become part of a community unlike any other—one grounded in belonging. We welcome and celebrate diverse backgrounds, cultures, interests, and perspectives. Our community is many things to students: a loyal cheering section, a valuable professional network, and a lasting source of connection. We not only learn for life, we bond for life, too.

“We learn not for school, but for life” guides everything we do—preparing students with personal growth, self-awareness, and real-world skills. Programs like the Fellowships in Applied Studies give them hands-on experience in fields from science to social justice, helping them solve real problems and explore future careers.
