student Life

The Hewitt School hosted Dr. Richard Weissbourd, faculty director of the Making Caring Common project (MCC) of the Harvard Graduate School of Education, for a conversation about moral parenting, building a practice of caring, and helping young people make healthy decisions about college.

Congratulations to the cast and crew of our fall production of The Wolves! These talented young women brought intensity, passion, and commitment to their performances of Sarah DeLappe's Pulitzer-nominated play. 

Girls With Impact gave me the opportunity to learn real business skills that are typically taught at the college level or learned the hard way, in real life. I came to the program with a vision for a nonprofit that I had been thinking about for a while, and Girls With Impact helped me bring it to life.

Congratulations to our varsity teams on an excellent fall season! Thanks to their intense preseason training and an impressive commitment to their sports, the Hewitt Hawks brought home wins, grew as athletes, and developed strong bonds over the course of the season. Go, Hawks!

At Hewitt, we believe deeply in the power of emotional intelligence as the foundation of a relational education. Research shows us that emotional intelligence benefits our students not only in academic settings, but also in the personal and professional relationships they will develop throughout their lives.

Since 2017, our students have traveled throughout Costa Rica, Canada, Spain, England, and France, where a special school partnership has recently developed between Hewitt and école de la Légion d’Honneur, a girls’ boarding school in Saint-Denis. Through an ongoing exchange program, students from both schools have opportunities to share their classrooms, homes, cities, and perspectives with one another.

Hewitt’s summer grant program supports faculty experiences that align with the school’s four academic pillars - presence, empathy, research, and purpose. Read on to learn how this year’s summer grant recipients engaged in mindful interactions, expanded their perspectives, fostered their own growth mindset, and affirmed their purpose as educators and as individuals.
