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.
One of the ways we support a sense of belonging in our youngest students is by inviting their parents and guardians into our lower school classrooms. These visits encourage students to see themselves and their families as valuable members of our school who have unique and important knowledge to share with our community.
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!
Congratulations to the cast and crew of A Midsummer Night’s Dream! Our upper school fall play brought Shakespeare’s magic and merriment to life on the Hewitt stage.
