Miss Hall’s School

Miss Hall’s School offers a comprehensive college preparatory curriculum, providing students with an outstanding academic foundation. The size of our School permits a thorough knowledge of each student’s abilities and achievements. Advanced Placement courses in six disciplines and an honors tier are available to those students who seek greater challenges in their academic program.

We believe that not everything girls need to learn about the world and themselves can be learned in the classroom. On our campus, girls feel a sense of ownership and connection to themselves and one another. It is our students who truly define who and what we are as a School. Their experiences in the buildings, in the dorm, on the fields, and in the classrooms are what makes Miss Hall’s such a memorable and valuable force in their lives.


Academic and Sport Facilities

The School has two academic buildings as well as a state of the art technology center and library.

We have an Athletic Center which houses basketball and volleyball courts, a climbing wall, aerobics/dance center, and a fitness room with machines and weights.

Dormitories and School Residences

We have two dorms on campus, one for under class women and the other for seniors. No more than two students live in each room. There are dorm parents in each dorm as well as student Proctors who help oversee the hall. Each student has a telephone in her room as well. TVs are available in the four common areas in the dorms.

Girls must participate in two athletic seasons each school year, one season of which must be on an interscholastic team.
