Girls Take Risks Without Fear of Failure
In junior kindergarten she surveys classmates about simple likes and dislikes. By middle school, she masterfully brings them around to her way of thinking on a pressing global concern. Whether she’s programming a robot to navigate using light sensors, adding the finishing touches on a sculpture, or meticulously evaluating the water quality in the campus lake, a Hutchison girl learns by doing.

“We teach girls to solve problems creatively. But we don’t just want them to think like a CEO, we are teaching them to become the CEO!”
In early childhood, the Reggio Emilia-inspired curriculum gives girls the space to solve problems creatively. Their intellectual curiosity will flourish here as they begin to build a strong foundation for lifelong learning.
Lower school is when girls begin to “connect the dots.” Across all disciplines, faculty work collaboratively to make connections. When first graders learned to use engineering skills to build bridges, they later studied how some of the same properties apply to ballet.
Middle school girls explore new ideas and learn to express opinions in constructive ways. The R.E.A.L. Discussion method introduces foundational communication skills – Relate, Excerpt, Ask, and Listen - through purposeful student-led discussions.
The upper school experience combines a rigorous curriculum with extracurricular opportunities so that girls can discover their unique talents and interests. The Institute for Responsible Citizenship, a structured four-year leadership development program, has something for everyone.
