I love the Hamden Hall community, and how everyone is super inclusive. I have people I can call friends in many different grades, and I feel like I can count on pretty much everyone I know.

This school has a joke of an administration that cares more about making money and raising tuition than it does about the well being of their students. I have seen countless students unsupported and dismissed by the administration, rather taking unnecessary disciplinary routes rather than listening...

When looking at Hamden Hall academically, it is a very strong school. With a multitude of challenging and exciting courses, Hamden Hall allows students with a true passion for education to pursue this passion to the fullest extent. But underneath Hamden Hall’s academic glory lies a sad truth: a vapi...
