From Northfield Mount Hermon School
Northfield Mount Hermon (NMH) is a coed, independent boarding school of 655 students in grades 9–12 plus a postgraduate year, located in the heart of New England, on the banks of the Connecticut River in western Massachusetts.
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 “Partnership of 12” initiative is a network of adults who support each student every day: we focus on the whole student.
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.
Classes are 80-minute class periods, allowing students to explore each subject in greater depth and spend more time with their teachers.

The school campus is beautiful and private. It's not like some schools in the middle of a city with busy streets. The school atmosphere is challenging but laid back. The students are focused but kind. The faculty is very helpful and always looking to lend a helping hand. The teachers are always open to answer questions and take the time out to help students to make sure they understand the material. The food is excellent. You will not get a better food experience in any other boarding school. (I've tried other schools, they do not compare). The school offers "work Jobs" for every semester. You do not get paid but you do gain life experience. The school also has a farm on campus that is part of the work job program should you choose to work in a farm. They also produce maple syrup. This school is absolutely well grounded! I have enjoyed my experience as a student and have grown tremendously.
PLEASE disregard some of the other one or two star reviews about the stifling liberalism. In general, higher-ed institutions like NMH are majority liberal. Personally, I had no problem speaking my mind-- in fact, I openly advocated for my views, generally conservative, and I've found incredible conversations with very liberal faculty and peers.
The NMH experience is academically interesting, at the very least, and life-changing at best. There's a couple mediocre teachers here and there, but for the most part, these teachers are passionate, well-educated and knowledgeable, and very friendly.
NMH is generous with financial aid. I am from a very low-income household, and my parents pay practically nothing to send me here. Blessed to be at a school that is so generous with aid.
Dining experience and food is the best of any college or prep school I've experienced. Cannot emphasize how humble and hard-working the people in the dining hall are. Food is unbelievably good.

My experience was wonderful! I learned so much about myself and really grew as a person. I left feeling incredibly prepared for college. I was involved in the arts, sports, academics, community service, etc. they really allow you to be apart of everything you love. The teachers are kind and spend time getting to know you on a personal level. There are endless resources available. The campus is so beautiful and well kept and the food is some of the best I’ve ever had. I would trade my experience for the world.
