Organization Profile
Dana Hall School
Organization Overview
Founded in 1881 as a preparatory school for Wellesley College, Dana Hall today prepares girls for college and for life. Dana Hall focuses on the awakening of intellectual curiosity, self-knowledge, leadership and global awareness, all within a community rich in diversity and spirit.
For over 137 years, Dana Hall has accompanied young women along their journeys of self-discovery. Today, as a boarding (9-12) and day (5-12) school for young women, Dana Hall remains dedicated to challenging academics, enriched by arts and athletics, and nurtured by significant relationships. From the start, we have committed ourselves to opening girls' minds, developing their critical thinking abilities, and helping them find, not only their voices, but also important things to say. Because Dana Hall has always been of women, by women, and for women, we understand at our very core how girls learn best and how much they can achieve.
