High School
Elevated
More Than A
School
Surrounded by New Hampshire’s lakes and White Mountains, Holderness School is a boarding and day school of joyful learners, adventurers, artists, advocates, and athletes. Our students develop deep and lasting friendships while actively learning what it means to be a member of a community where they are respected, known, and challenged. Holderness is more than a school, it’s an elevated experience.
