Tuition
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.
