Judy ’22

Student speaking at grand opening of Science building

I get to sit in classes with brilliant teachers and peers who inspire me and challenge me to my intellectual limits.  I have great opportunities to try out things that I have never done before.

Nina '23

Student in dorm room in evening

I can always count on teachers and peers to act as my Holderness family.

Jackson '23

Student in environmental science outdoor class testing water

Holderness has made it possible for me to express who I am as a person.  I have become someone who is not afraid to join in on the conversation and say what’s on my mind.

Edvin '22

Student performing on stage

Being at a boarding school, far away from my parents, has allowed me to find myself and also develop socially by becoming more independent.
