About Hewitt
A Century-Long Legacy of Educating Brave, Bold Women
The Hewitt School continues a century-long legacy of advocating for the education of brave, bold women. Our motto, "By Faith and Courage," reflects our deep commitment to nurturing confident and resilient girls and young women.
In the words of our founder Caroline D. Hewitt, “It is the touch of life upon life that matters most in a school.” By fostering meaningful relationships between people and ideas — between educators and students — we provide a fulfilling educational experience where joy and academic rigor coexist.
Our Mission
The Hewitt School inspires girls and young women to become game changers and ethical leaders who forge an equitable, sustainable, and joyous future.
Our Strategic Vision
Our vision for educating girls and young women centers our our commitments to redesign learning, reimagine location, and redefine leadership.
Redesign learning around interdisciplinary real-world challenges to build students’ leadership capacity and sense of purpose.
Reimagine where school happens to take full advantage of immersive, collaborative, and hands-on learning in New York City.
Redefine women’s leadership by convening student, academic, and industry leaders to challenge, transcend, and transform conventional assumptions about gender, power, and leadership in our society.
