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.
Our experiential service-learning program,Horizons, is embedded in
the academic life of Miss Hall`s and serves as a bridge from the
classroom to the real world. On Wednesdays, students are required
to take part in on- and off-campus volunteering, internships, and
projects, which evolve sequentially throughout grade levels.
Seniors participate in yearlong professional internships or
individualized projects tailored to their interests, in partnership
with local community organizations and businesses.

I am a current sophomore at Miss Hall's and throughout the past two years, I have learned to create long-lasting bonds, use my voice, and become the best version of myself. Miss Hall's is a diverse community with many unique classes and opportunities. We have a Hallmark course program which is a program that is unique to Miss Halls. Hallmark classes are advanced courses that dive deeper into specific topics and are designed to appeal to the interests of both teachers and students. We also have a program called the Horizons program in which each student participates in an off-campus internship suited to them every Wednesday. This provides real-world experience and prepares us for our careers. I love to spend time with my friends in the common room every night, eat the delicious food in the dining hall, and have fun discussions in classes with teachers and peers. I am so grateful that I get to attend this school and I highly recommend it to anyone considering.

I am currently a senior at Miss Hall's School. Throughout my years at the school, I believe they have pushed me out of my comfort zone, taught me how to amplify my voice and advocate for myself, and provided a very diverse environment (community wise and education wise). This community would be a perfect fit for you if you like a student-lead, collaborative, and encouraging environment where you have plenty of opportunities to try new things.

I am currently a senior at Miss Hall's School. Over these last four years, I was able to find my voice and learned how to speak up for things that I believe in. I learned the importance of advocacy and know that I will use this skill in my life outside of Miss Hall's. The curriculum is rigorous, but teachers are always understanding and wanting to help however they can. I have found a great community at Miss Hall's and I know the friends I have made here will last a lifetime.

Coming to Miss Hall's as a freshman, I was shy, and terrified of the idea of being in a new environment surrounded by unfamiliar faces. I can confidently say that this community and environment makes new students feel the complete opposite. I was shocked when seniors were saying hi to me in the hallways and greeting me with welcoming smiles. Students are encouraged to voice their opinion, pursue passions, and make a difference. Looking back on my time at Miss Hall's, I am overwhelmingly grateful to this school for giving me the opportunity and support to find my own unique path.

I am a current student at MHS and I really love it here. The environment is incredibly accepting and friendly and I have felt at home here since I first came through the doors of the main building. I have been able to take incredible classes on subjects I had never really been encouraged to try before, like engineering and science. The all girls element is so special and makes the MHS community always feel like a safe space. The faculty and staff here become mentors who I feel I have made genuine relationships with and my advisor has become like a second mom to me and is always there when I need help with anything school or social life related. Making friends at MHS is so easy, and you also have the chance to learn about so many new cultures and life experiences from your peers. Miss Hall is truly a special place.

I am currently an international student at Miss Hall. I'm a junior and this is my second year at MHS. I've had an amazing time here. At MHS I received excellent academics with a tone of interesting classes, such as Fairy tail, where you can analyze deeper all the fairy tales. Or Translator where you can study about all the literature pieces all around the world such as in Vietnam, Thailand, Korea, China, and so on. MHS also have hallmarks classes for students like me to attend. The student teachers and faculty here are super amazing. They are really friendly, fun and willing to help you no matter what. I had met my friend groups here and we have a lot of fun. As a boarding student, MHS has given me an opportunity to stay active and avoid homesick by the weekend events such as music concert, saxifrages, Dance Night, go out for movie theater, dinner at local restaurants and so on. Also, MHS has a lot of sports, both individual and team sport such as yoga, volleyball, basketball, soccer, cross-country. MHS also strong in art, filmmaking, theater assemble, vocal assemble, studio art, ceramics, Grace Notes - a traditional acapella group of the school in which I am a member. Miss Hall is an amazing school and I will never regret my choice to attend here 2 years ago.

I will cherish my time at Miss Hall's (MHS). I have grown so much and witnessed the same in my peers, regardless if they have been here since their freshman year or senior. At MHS, students are encouraged to grow by stepping out of their comfort zone; whether that be on a stage, on the field/court, in the classroom, or even in the Berkshire community, students are allowed to accomplish great things with the support of a community.

I consider myself extremely lucky to have had the opportunity to attend Miss Hall's School. From the tight-knit community, to the incredible athletics program, to the amazing arts programs, I've thoroughly enjoyed my time here at Miss Hall's. One aspect that I want to highlight is the stellar athletics program. A misconception about many girls schools is that they have sub-par athletics, but this is not true in our case. Many of our varsity teams have made it to the esteemed NEPSAC (New England Private Schools Athletic Conference), and we are fierce competitors in every sport. Specifically, our volleyball, basketball, and alpine skiing teams have made the most appearances in the NEPSAC tournament, but every team is competitive and super fun! I loved the overall atmosphere of all the sports at Miss Hall's and I always felt welcomed and encouraged to try new sports and join new teams. There is no varsity to JV hierarchy, which can occur at some schools; often times, JV and Varsity will practice or play together. I've made some of my best friends through playing soccer here, and I will miss the positive, family atmosphere of playing sports at Miss Hall's. I love that Miss Hall`s encourages you to try new things and have fun!
