A Healthy Learning Environment

Hutchison nurtures both academic growth and overall wellness.

Our balanced approach integrates challenging academics with social-emotional development and wellness. We believe that to thrive academically, a student needs to thrive socially and emotionally.

Chloe Warner, Class of '25

“Hutchison is a welcoming and comfortable environment where I can learn and focus on my studies while still being able to have fun with my friends and feel loved. Everyone loves being here and wants to be there for each other. Every person has their place and group of people that gets them. No one is left out. If you ever feel like you’re struggling or need help, the faculty and staff are here to support you.”

With personalized academic support, dedicated counseling services, and a focus on health and wellness, Hutchison empowers girls to reach their full potential, academically and socially, in a community where they feel supported and valued.

A Sense of Belonging

By fostering a sense of belonging, we ensure that every girl feels connected to her peers, faculty, and staff. We empower girls to feel confident about asking for help, academic or otherwise.

Early Childhood and Lower School girls learn about building friendships, resolving conflicts, and self-awareness in homeroom and in “Special Time” with the counselor. Middle and upper school advisory groups, classroom activities, and grade-level retreats build community, as well as provide small group settings for girls to form meaningful connections with one another and caring adults invested in their social, emotional, and academic success.

Hutchison provides academic support across all grade levels, as part of our commitment to support the learning needs of each girl.

Learning specialists in Middle and Upper School create personalized plans.

Other support includes a reading specialist in Early Childhood and Lower School, and resources like math labs, a writing lab, and a language lab available for Upper School students.

Counseling

Three full-time counselors work with students, parents, and faculty proactively to address issues, provide crisis intervention, and offer referrals as necessary. Counselors and advisors collaborate throughout the year on student culture issues and common concerns children and adolescents face.

Counselors help with a wide array of issues, including social isolation, friendship issues, feelings of grief and loss, and family changes. The counseling team has the professional expertise to work with a girl and her family to figure out strategies to get the student the help she needs.

Health & Wellness

Our dedication to mind, body, and spirit extends to a health education program that connects with girls in age-appropriate ways, with discussions about body image, human development, life balance, stress, and time management.

Physical education exposes girls to a variety of experiences, including both team and individual activities. The intramural program offers girls the opportunity to identify activities they enjoy and can continue throughout life.
