More Than a School
Holderness is more than a boarding school; It’s an elevated experience. We are a dynamic community of learners, adventurers, artists, advocates, and athletes in New Hampshire’s White Mountains. At Holderness, students are respected, known, and challenged. Whether you’re interested in epic outdoor experiences, serving the community in our leadership program, or exploring your intellectual passions, Holderness is committed to the growth and success of each student.
