Being African-American at Hathaway Brown, I found it difficult to fit in throughout my years in middle school (I began in 5th grade). However, once I entered high school, while cliques and so forth do exist, I found that I was able to really get the gist of education and I was able to focus on my studies and make the most of what I was learning. By 10th grade, I was stretching my schedule as far as I could, trying to fit in all different types of classes. I took two languages, non-western dance, and eventually participated in study abroad to Southeast Asia. I think that HB, while difficult, is truly a great resource if you can just stick with it, get things done, and learn how the game goes. It really prepares a person for college, as long as the family is supportive and so forth, and the college counseling office is AWESOME! They are so nice and supportive and the teachers aren't all nice but for the most part they are wonderful! I honestly have found myself wanting to learn more about subjects such as Biology and Contemporary American History and Politics simply because the teachers themselves were so AWARE and passionate about what they teach. If you can, go to HB.

My daughter graduated from HB and my granddaughter is now a student there. Although expensive, I considered it to be worth every dollar we spent on our daughter's tuition. Now that my granddaughter is a student there, I still find it to be filled with an exciting, academically stimulating atmosphere.

I really love HB! All of the teachers here are so kind and supportive and the curriculum is very challenging. It may have the reputation of being "cliquey" and "affluent" but it is really a community full of girls from all different walks of life and who care about one another. I consider about half my my grade as friends because everyone here is so nice. I had never been challenged or had so much fun while learning until I came here. There is a lot of homework and school can get pretty stressful, though. But overall, I really like it here.
