10 reasons to attend Miss Hall’s:

10. GIRLS ARE EVERYTHING HERE

We hold all the leadership roles, ask all the questions, solve all the problems, play all the positions, sing all the parts. We are excited to run the show.

9. EACH STUDENT CREATES THEIR OWN PATH

Guided by an Academic Counselor starting in 9th grade, each student builds a strong foundation, selects electives, and personalizes her learning with highest-level Hallmark courses that develop 21st century skills: collaboration, critical and analytical thinking, and cross-cultural competency.

8. WE MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD

Skills, confidence, vision. A commitment to the common good.  This describes Ubah Ali ’16 — a social activist from Somaliland and listed by the BBC as one of the world’s 100 most influential women — and all Miss Hall’s graduates.

Our students are bold and creative global citizens, practicing the change they want to see in the world.

7. 150 LEADERSHIP POSITIONS, 100 PROFESSIONAL INTERNSHIPS

Our signature Horizons program is interdisciplinary, experiential, and woven into the fabric of our school. Every student participates each week in programming that includes community learning and internships at more than 75 professional offices, businesses, nonprofits, and arts organizations in the Berkshires.

6. OUTSTANDING TEACHERS

Care for the intellectual, physical, and mental wellness of each student is provided by dedicated, best-in-their-field faculty who challenge, nurture, and inspire students to discover their passions and excel.

5. WE LIFT EACH OTHER UP

Arts, athletics, and “What I Need” time are part of the student experience at Miss Hall’s. It’s up to students how they use their WIN time each day: to practice an instrument, go for a run, visit the Math or Writing Center, or unwind with friends.

4. ACCESS TO THE BEST COLLEGES & UNIVERSITIES

Our graduates attend some of the finest colleges around the globe. Members of the Class of 2022 are headed to Harvard, Princeton, Penn, NYU, Emory, RISD, Dickinson, UVM and more! They move forward having developed and practiced the competencies they need to succeed.
