Why Hawthorn School

Hawthorn is a small school that will make a big difference in a young person’s life, one student at a time. It is a unique place that explores each girl’s potential (and boy’s, too, from Daycare to SK!) in a personalized learning environment, one that knows them individually and recognizes and responds to their strengths, needs, and aspirations. Hawthorn’s all-girl environment, small class sizes, and one of the lowest student-to-teacher ratios in the country, provides a unique kind of student-by-student learning that is proven to differentially prepare students for reaching and succeeding in the next phase of their education and beyond. 

Our goal is to make a positive difference in each student’s life and we take that to heart. Although what The Hawthorn Difference will mean for each student will depend on their individual needs and goals, the way it is delivered is set upon a common foundation of five key pillars:

  • Pursuit of Excellence in Education
  • Personal Mentorship
  • Partnership with Parents
  • Leadership through Service
  • All-Girls Advantage

Hawthorn fosters a dynamic student life in which learners grow to be courageous and confident. Emphasis is placed on being generous with one’s time and talents. Inspired by teachings of the Catholic Church, leadership roles are recognized as opportunities to be of service to those around us – those who need help the most.

Should you have any questions, our Admissions Director would be delighted to speak with you. In the meantime, sign up for an open house, or check out our visitors’ page to learn more about coming to Hawthorn. We extend a warm welcome and look forward to meeting you!
