Welcome to our Community

Are you looking to join a school community that is committed to equity, inclusion, and environmental sustainability? A place that is not just discussing but actively pursuing new approaches to education? A place with a small enough scale that the word community can have profound meaning? If the answer is “yes” to any and, hopefully, all of these, I hope you will come to visit us to see for yourself all the good things happening here. I am thrilled to be leading a school with these qualities.

White Mountain offers you the opportunity to search for and build common ground with your peers while pursuing an education that feels relevant to you. The opportunities and challenges that you’ll experience in the coming years will almost certainly require bravery and kindness as much as intellectual accomplishment. White Mountain will help you grow those qualities—the main reason I wanted to come to the School.

School communities don’t simply exist by habit or tradition, however. Our School’s connection to its heritage is essential. Communities are created each day, each new year, through the efforts of the students and adults working together. In that sense, institutions like White Mountain are both strong and fragile—they require constant effort and care and stand for something meaningful and positive when they deliver on their mission. That’s something worth being part of.

So, come see all that is going on here. See a school where you can pursue projects you design, get outside in a beautiful place surrounded by nature to try some new activities, and where you can work with others who are excited and curious to learn more about themselves and the world. White Mountain is a school of inquiry and engagement, and we want you to ask questions and become involved.
