  • HOLDERNESS SCHOOL Holderness, New Hampshire HEAD
    HOLDERNESS SCHOOL Holderness, New Hampshire HEAD OF SCHOOL Start Date: July 2022 holderness.org Mission Holderness School fosters equally in each student the resources of the mind, body, and spirit in the creation of an empathetic community, inspiring all to work for the betterment of humankind and God’s creation. Vision Holderness School strives to develop people the world most needs. OVERVIEW Holderness is more than a school, it’s an elevated experience. Surrounded by New Hampshire’s lakes and White Mountains, Holderness School is an independent boarding and day school for grades 9-12 and postgraduate. Offering a rigorous college preparatory education and curriculum in a vibrant and supportive community, Holderness instills within each student an excellent academic foundation, strong leadership skills, and lifelong connections—ingredients for a happy and successful life. Holderness strives to create a balance in fostering the resources of the mind, body, and spirit: the mind through an intentionally challenging curriculum, the body through outdoor activities and required interscholastic athletics, and the spirit through school and community service, ongoing equity and inclusion work, and affiliation with the Episcopal Church. Holderness remains, by choice, a small school where students and faculty maintain close relationships. Every student at Holderness plays an important role in the life of the school. Through the Jobs Program, academics, athletics, and dorm life, students learn what it means to be engaged members of a strong and healthy community. They learn who they really are, and shape and expand their identity through a wide variety of challenges and experiences. Students graduate from Holderness with the skills and knowledge they need for success in college and a foundation for a lifetime of curiosity, inquiry, and learning.
