Admissions
"It is the touch of life upon life that matters most in a school."
These words of our founder, Caroline D. Hewitt, are a befitting introduction to The Hewitt School. Present at our school’s founding, Hewitt’s commitment to deep humanity and mutual respect remains undiminished today. At Hewitt, we believe that the key to a meaningful life is to connect authentically to self and others, and to a sense of purpose. As such, the Hewitt experience is full of human interaction, with teaching and learning that are highly experiential, interactive, and personalized to the individual girl.

Why Hewitt?
Hewitt girls and young women succeed in traditional measures such as grades, national academic awards, and acceptance at some of the world’s most prestigious colleges and universities, and in their ability to find and cultivate challenging work that feels meaningful to them and their communities.
Hewitt's expert faculty bring the latest research on educating girls into their classrooms to support every student in nourishing their passions, achieving their goals, honing their skills, and speaking their voice.
Warmly welcomed into our community by peers and guided by teachers who serve as wise and caring mentors, every student finds their place and purpose at Hewitt.
Hewitt is proud to be a founding member of the International Coalition of Girls' Schools (ICGS). According to ICGS, girls attending girls' schools are more likely to:
- consider majoring in math, science, technology, and engineering
- feel their voices and opinions are respected
- become involved in environmental and community social action programs
- value improving their understanding of other countries and cultures
- view their ability to understand and work cooperatively with diverse people as a strength
The Hewitt School is proud to be a founding member of the International Coalition of Girls' Schools (ICGS). ICGS is the leading advocate for girls’ schools, connecting and collaborating globally with individuals, schools, and mission-aligned entities dedicated to educating and empowering girls.
The Hewitt School is a proud member of the Independent Schools Admissions Association of Greater New York (ISAAGNY). Founded in 1965, ISAAGNY aims to ensure orderly, professional, and equitable admissions processes at member schools: we do so by observing a shared admissions timeline, engaging in professional development to hone our collective craft, exchanging resources and best practices, and more. The resulting spirit of cooperation serves schools, families, and nearly 30,000 students across greater New York.
