School Notes
Northfield Mount Hermon (NMH) is a coed, independent boarding
school of 655 students in grades 912 plus a postgraduate year.
NMH offers a challenging, innovative college-preparatory
curriculum with extensive choices that include study-abroad
programs, a social entrepreneurship course, independent study, and
community-service work. Supported and guided by expert faculty and
staff, students are encouraged to pursue their passions, discover
new ones, and make their own unique contributions to the NMH
community.
Our faculty devote an extraordinary amount of time and energy
to fostering students` accomplishment and success, both in and out
of the classroom. The result is students who think critically, act
with humanity, and discover within themselves a sense of
purpose.
Our distinctive College-Model Academic Program (CMAP) is
centered around 80-minute class periods that are longer than those
in a typical high school class. So students explore each subject in
greater depth and spend more time with their teachers. Students
take three major courses each semester - six per year, which is one
more than at schools with traditional schedules. Our average class
size is 11 students. Each faculty member teaches on average only
two courses a semester, allowing them to spend focused time with a
small group of students.
We focus on the whole student, meeting individual needs while
integrating students into a diverse, busy community. Our
"Partnership of 12" initiative is a network of adults (at least a
dozen every semester) who support each student every day. The
network includes teachers, coaches, dorm staff, and work
supervisors.
NMH has made serious commitments to multiculturalism throughout
its long history. Currently, students of color make up 21 percent
of the student body, and international students come from 57
countries. The school focuses extensively on racial, ethnic,
socioeconomic, religious, and gender diversity in extracurricular
workshops and events throughout the year.
Our sustainability program empowers students to explore and
protect the environment and become active citizens of a changing
planet.In short, NMH helps students develop into people who are
down to earth, yet performing up to their potential.
Our students are academically challenged, socially engaged, and
constantly surprised by both themselves and the world.
