Summary: Hebron has a long history of academic excellence. We are a school that believes that the primary educational aim is to teach students to become independent, curious, self-motivated learners. Our emphasis, therefore, is on process, on active involvement from students—questioning, experimenting, exploring, connecting, communicating, researching, investigating, creating. We value highly each student’s unique contribution to the learning environment and promote an awareness and celebration of the various perspectives offered by students from around the country and the world. Our faculty is wholly invested in supporting students as they engage in the learning process. We are proud of the sense of humility and respect with which both students and adults approach the learning process at Hebron. It is one ultimately based on the highest regard for personal and community growth. Hebron’s 1-to-1 iPad program and extensive technology in the classrooms ensures that fresh new approaches are incorporated in our teaching and keep Hebron on the cutting edge of an ever-changing world of teaching and learning. Graduates leave Hebron prepared for higher education in top colleges and universities nationally and internationally. They gain a greater understanding of themselves and the knowledge and confidence to make a difference in the world.

Student Life

The Community Life Team along with residential faculty is committed to planning activities for students throughout the year, including special events, sports tournaments, activities in the dorm, and a full slate of choices for the weekends. These activities are in addition to the wide array of existing student plays and concerts, student organization activities and interscholastic competitions. The Academy also surprises students with a Mountain Day each year, sweeping kids off campus to enjoy a day of hiking, skiing, snowboarding and snowshoeing at a local resort. Hebron's pristine 1,500 acres lends itself to limitless outdoor exploration.

Summary: Arts: To be truly well educated, one must not only appreciate the arts, but have rich opportunities to actively participate in creative work. The arts bring subjects to life, turning abstractions into actual expression. Learning through the arts often results in greater academic achievement and higher test scores. The arts faculty bring a high level of experience to the classroom, and throughout the year visiting artists and musicians come to campus, exposing students to a wide range of creativity and talent. At Hebron, art is for all and celebrated by all. A highlight of Academy life is the all-school musical, which happens each winter and enlists more than 50 students, faculty and staff. The production personifies Hebron's core mission of being a community that welcomes and supports individuality, respects differences, and values each person's contribution. Athletics: At Hebron the pursuit of academic excellence finds its corollary in the pursuit of athletic excellence, and participation in organized sports forms an integral part of every student’s Hebron experience. The school’s athletic programs are devoted to encouraging a lifelong love of physical activity and an appreciation for teamwork and fair play. For those who prefer not to compete, recreational athletic opportunities are limitless, thanks in large part to the 1,500 acre campus that affords all members of the community an array of outdoor diversions, whether it's skiing, snowshoeing, or just a stroll on the trail. When weather doesn't permit, the recently opened Athletic Center hosts 54,000 square feet of indoor track, basketball and tennis courts, a state-of-the-art workout room, dance studios, and 30-foot rock wall. The structure was erected using environmentally conscious building practices and boasts beautiful and "green" architectural details.

Summary: The College Counseling Office at Hebron Academy provides highly individualized attention to each student throughout the college search and application process. Hebron college counselors know and understand their students thoroughly. They help students identify their particular goals and talents and assist them in selecting appropriate colleges. Counselors are familiar with a wide range of colleges and universities, as well as student paths. College counseling begins in the freshman year at an introductory level as students learn about the process and their own interests, and develop skill sets to prepare them for the formal college process. Beginning in junior year, Hebron's comprehensive college counseling curriculum prepares students not only for college but for life beyond school, with a particular focus on developing skills of self-awareness, self-advocacy, and formal presentation.
