School Notes:

  • Northfield Mount Hermon School began as two schools: the Northfield Seminary for Young Ladies, which opened in 1879, and the Mount Hermon School for Boys, which opened in 1881. Both schools were founded by Dwight L. Moody, who wanted to provide a first-rate secondary education for young people regardless of race, religion, or economic circumstances. In 1971, the schools became a single coeducational institution with one faculty, one administration, and two coed campuses.Northfield Mount Hermon School (NMH) offers a unique educational program, diverse and talented people, a values-oriented experience, and extensive resources. Focus, individual attention, values, and opportunity are at the core of the program because the school believes these are the elements that allow students to learn and grow in the most balanced and effective way possible.
  • Northfield Mount Hermon Summer Session offers academic courses for students wishing to enrich, supplement, or accelerate their school-year education. Programs allow students to focus on a single area of interest, making significant academic progress in a short period of concentrated study.
  • Classes in all programs are small, with both a master teacher and a college teaching intern. Students also take an afternoon minor course and sport, which offer a change of pace from the morning course, and there is required evening study time. While classes can be intensive, they are also fun for most students. There is also a wide range of on-campus activities and off-campus trips. Students come from more than 26 states and 25 countries; since the majority of students are not current NMH students, there is a chance to make new friends.
