The Lower School Experience
The Hamden Hall Experience begins in our Lower School and encompasses all that is truly unique to our school community. We are a family of students, parents, faculty, and staff who care deeply about each other and our school. Moreover, we have made a commitment to instilling a love of learning in every student.
The backbone of any school is its academic program. Hamden Hall prides itself on the breadth and depth of educational opportunities it offers. Our program is also defined by the relationship faculty has with students.
