Hawken’s Lower School program embodies the school’s dual commitment to academic excellence and social-emotional growth. Students develop a strong foundation in core skills while learning to be more independent and responsible. Recent renovations support not only Hawken’s commitment to truly knowing each student as a learner and individual, but also the school’s evolving personalized learning model. Each grade-level cluster features a learning commons to support flexible grouping, differentiated instruction, and collaborative, project-based experiences. hawken.edu
Hawken’s Middle School program focuses on building strong academic skills while placing an increasing emphasis on personal responsibility. We partner with parents to ensure that students receive the optimal balance of structure, freedom, nurture and support that will enable them to successfully navigate this exciting and challenging transition into adolescence. With an emphasis on hands-on learning, interdisciplinary approaches, and student choice, students become active participants in their education.
