Hamlin seeks to offer a challenging academic program for girls conducted in an environment of encouragement and support. We aim to develop the intellect, the character, and the citizenship of every student.

The school mission and the Hamlin creed form the foundation for the development of character, values, and a sense of respect and responsibility in the school. The creed is integral to the standards and discussions that teachers have with students. The mission also emphasizes diversity as a component of excellence and our commitment to leadership, service learning, and ethical decision-making. To that end, we seek families who understand and embrace our mission as well as students who will thrive in the program.
