Intellectual Contemplation and Exploration

At Hewitt, we know that girls and young women learn best from highly respected teachers with whom they feel a genuine connection. We also know that the best teachers are those who are meaningfully attuned to the individual spirit of each and every student from kindergarten through twelfth grade. Hewitt faculty cultivate the practice of patience and model contemplation as part of intellectual exploration. We create class environments that intentionally vary the pace during the day to ensure everyone has time to truly think, talk, connect, and rest. Through such intentionally designed daily interactions with their teachers and one another, Hewitt girls and young women are seen, valued, and cherished for who they uniquely are.
