Summary: We believe it's not just about what you learn; it's how you learn it, which is why we blend the essential elements of a college preparatory education with experiential learning. By remotely participating in open heart surgery, building and sailing cardboard boats, and role-playing historical leaders, our students acquire real -world skills that help them become problem solvers who embrace challenges and take risks. And because our students get their hands dirty (sometimes literally), our vigorous curriculum has real staying power. Our unique approach allows students to direct their own education and seek individual support from teachers, mentors, and peers.

Summary: Our campus experience is specifically designed to offer students a supportive environment and an introduction to the wider world. Students live and learn alongside peers from diverse cultures and backgrounds, which deepens their interpersonal and communication skills. At the same time, our small boarding community—including resident faculty—gives students the comfort and sense of home that they need to thrive in a rigorous academic setting. By living at Hun, students extend their learning beyond the classroom, using evening hours to meet and study in small groups, or to access one-on-one coaching with teachers. When our students attend college, living away from home is "old hat'" and they have the independence, study skills, and global mindedness to excel.
