Northfield Mount Hermon School

Northfield Mount Hermon, commonly referred to as NMH, is a selective, independent, co-educational college-preparatory boarding and day school for students in grades 9–12 and postgraduates. The school is located on the banks of the Connecticut River in Gill, MA, adjacent to the town of Gill, Massachusetts. NMH is a secular institution that supports religious diversity.

Originally two neighboring schools—the Northfield School for Girls, founded in 1879, and the Mount Hermon School for Boys, founded in 1881—NMH merged into a single institution in 1972 and consolidated on one campus in 2006.

NMH is a member of the Eight Schools Association, established in 1973 comprising Phillips Academy (known as Andover), Phillips Exeter Academy (known as Exeter), Choate Rosemary Hall (known as Choate), Deerfield Academy, Hotchkiss School, Lawrenceville School, and St. Paul's School.

NMH’s mission is to provide students with an education “for the head, heart, and hand,” engaging their intellect, compassion, and talents and empowering them to act with humanity and purpose.
