Established in 1920 and located in New York City, The Hewitt School is an independent K-12 girls’ school whose mission is to inspire girls and young women to become game changers and ethical leaders who forge an equitable, sustainable, and joyous future.
Hewitt empowers and expects our community members to embrace multiple points of view, to engage others with empathy and integrity, and to champion equity and justice in all areas of our lives. Learn more about our academic philosophy.
This June, a group of Hewitt high schoolers traveled to Costa Rica for meaningful real world and experiential learning. Students kayaked through a mangrove forest, visited a sustainable cacao and coffee farm, ziplined through a tropical rainforest, and observed Costa Rica's incredible biodiversity and tropical ecosystems.
Follow a few Hewitt kindergarteners as they engage in reading and literacy activities, problem solve in math and science, practice their Spanish language skills, learn new games and sports in physical education, and explore their creative expression in music and art!
When we look back at all that the Hewitt community has accomplished since September, it is clear that this is a year not only to remember but also to celebrate! Please enjoy these highlights from the 2023-2024 school year.
From Hewitt, we have gained the ability to create meaningful bonds and learned how to be creative, innovative leaders. We understand how to listen and amplify small voices to make change, and how to be unapologetic in the bold choices we make.
