Internships
Cultivating Purpose Beyond Hewitt
The emphasis on student-centered, experiential learning in lower and middle school classrooms fosters a mindset that blossoms in the upper school. Starting in ninth grade, many Hewitt students extend their learning beyond the walls of their school through summer programs, internships, jobs, volunteer service, and leadership programs. Such experiences are key to guiding young women in cultivating a sense of purpose.
