Dana Hall is an independent boarding and day school for girls in grades 5-12 in Wellesley, Massachusetts.

Beginning in grade 9, we welcome boarding students from around the country and the world. As the only girls’ boarding school in the Boston area, you’ll have the opportunity to live with students who hail from places as close by as Vermont and as far away as Vietnam, forging lifelong friendships and global perspectives through a shared living experience. Our skilled residential life faculty, who live on campus year-round, will guide and support you throughout your journey—whether that’s cheering you on at your soccer game or sharing words of encouragement as they proctor your evening study hall before a big test.

Dana Hall School has always been dedicated to providing the vigorous college-prep education that every girl deserves—one that’s academically ambitious, rich with opportunity, and fiercely empowering. Here, at a top all-girls middle and high school in Massachusetts, you’ll lead the discussions, wield the hammers, present geometric proofs, and immerse yourself in the quest to question and grow—in the library, lab, and classroom, and on the stage and playing field.
