School Notes
Northfield Mount Hermon is a coeducational, secular boarding
day school serving 650 students in grades 9 through 12, plus a
postgraduate year. We are located on a serene, wooded 1,320-acre
campus in Massachusetts` Connecticut River Valley.
At NMH, students learn with passion, act with humanity, and

provide an advanced educational experience that supports students

community. Students come from almost 60 countries, and 25% of

NMH`s distinctive College-Model Academic Program (CMAP) allows
students to explore subjects in greater depth and develop deeper
relationships with their teachers. NMH`s average class size is 13
students, and our studentteacher ratio is 6 to 1. The NMH Advanced
Program curriculum goes beyond typical AP courses, allowing
students to take on college-level work and apply their learning
using real-world skills and project-based assessments.
NMH balances a challenging, innovative college-preparatory
curriculum with extensive opportunities in international studies,
athletics, the arts, and service. It`s an academic culture that
prioritizes participatory, experiential learning; thoughtful
exploration; and multi-disciplinary connections.
Our curriculum-based campus life program is an immersive
experience that connects learning objectives across all aspects of
academic and residential life. Every member of our community is
expected to engage across differing identities, to recognize and
challenge biases, and to develop world views in a spirit of
dialogue, not division.
Each NMH student is surrounded by a network of compassionate
adult mentors - advisors, teachers, coaches, and residential staff
- who guide them and help them reach sky-high aspirations. This
program, which we call Connection 360, connects residential-life
and advising systems to support each student`s growth.

Although I did not appreciate the boarding school ambiance, Mt Hermon gave me an A+ education. As a retired college professor, I can now say it taught me the key elements of great teaching. It helped me become in the 1970s one of the best college teachers in the state of Texas. Now, recently; ly retire,d I can now look back, and say "Thank you, Mt. Hermon." In addition, as the son of parents living abroad, Mt. Hermon also took care of me during the holidays. Not many other schools did that.
