Why Hamden Hall

Parent Joe Tessitore

John and his wife, Rebecca, are the parents of John 2018 and Nicolina 2021.

"The parental axiom my wife and I often quote is, 'Children will live up to your expectations for them.' At Hamden Hall, we found like-minded parents and teachers. We also found children who do live up to those expectations.

It’s not so much about the glowing results - which are apparent - it’s about the commitment to high standards by everyone. It’s nice to be part of a community that truly values being a good person and student as the norm. It’s about simply caring for each child.

We’ve seen real growth and development in our children."
